Intro lead cycles between two phrases. First: Simplifying enterprise-scale data ecosystems through systematic architecture as a Senior Product Designer at Cloudera. Second: Unifying the design-to-engineering pipeline by piloting Agentic AI to automate complex technical workflows and bridge the gap to execution.

Story
My journey began with the fast-paced energy of startups, but it quickly evolved into a passion for the “deep tech” challenges that define the modern enterprise. Today, I lead UX and Information Architecture at Cloudera, where I translate dense engineering concepts—from security federation to data tiering—into intuitive, high-performance workflows.
I specialize in the “hard” problems: the invisible infrastructure of data storage, migration, and disaster recovery. By bridging the gap between high-level engineering and user comprehension, I create high-fidelity technical visualizations and architectures that turn massive data ecosystems into manageable, human-centered experiences.
At Cloudera, I architect the foundational services that power global data platforms. My focus is on Day 0 and Day 1 onboarding—ensuring that the transition of data, metadata, and security policies is seamless and automated. Whether I am defining global notification architectures or overhauling workload migrations, my goal is to drive user adoption by reducing the cognitive load of enterprise-grade operations.
Beyond the interface, I am piloting the future of our design process. I actively explore the integration of Agentic and Generative AI tools to accelerate our internal ideation and research. By automating the “connective tissue” of design production, I empower my team to move faster and focus on solving the complex architectural problems that matter most.
Work
Moving things around and sharpening the narrative. These projects will be live in the next release.
Focused on reducing cognitive load for bank administrators managing multi-service profiles. Implemented section-based editing & automated status tracking, replacing a high-friction legacy process with a frictionless, task-oriented environment validated by over 40 usability tests.
2022–2023
Transformed a cluttered, multi-step purchasing flow into a seamless, distraction-free journey. By introducing progressive disclosure, we slashed user drop-off rates by 14% & significantly boosted checkout engagement.
2022
Bridged the gap between fragmented local branches by architecting a scalable, centralized design system. Redesigned & tokenized 12+ core components to ensure strict WCAG 2.0 accessibility & cross-platform consistency.
2021–2022
