( Product designer · data-heavy tools )

I design tools for people who decide with too much data.

For over ten years I've worked with telescope operators, transit controllers, arbitrators and mine inspectors, from field research to the code.

How I work

  1. 01 / ObserveI learn the domain in the room where the work happens, until I can speak its language.
  2. 02 / Show the whyInterfaces that explain their numbers, so experts trust what they act on.
  3. 03 / Design with engineersDevelopers in research sessions, and front-end code from me when it helps.
  4. 04 / Prototype to decideWhen a decision depends on real data, I build it and test it, now with AI doing more of the building.

I do the research and the thinking. AI does more of the building.

On AC3E and on this site, I wrote the specs and AI built from them. Here is where it helps, where it doesn't, and what I check.
