Designing the platforms behind how developers build and ship.

Currently designing AI agent experiences at Microsoft

I'm a Senior Product Designer focused on developer platforms, AI agents, and enterprise tools. I work closely with product, engineering, and research to shape experiences that help developers move from building and configuration through validation, publishing, and management.

My work often spans multiple tools and parts of the developer journey. I focus on connecting those pieces into coherent workflows, while creating patterns and foundations that can scale as the platform evolves.

Outside of work, I'm a proud dad of twin boys. Life's a constant design sprint at home too.
