Hi! I'm a design engineer at Replit working on AI-assisted development, distributed collaboration, and cloud services. Before that, I designed enterprise investment management software at Ridgeline in Lake Tahoe. I'm interested in digital creator tools and creative coding for the web.
Led design on Replit's flagship AI product, an agent that builds full stack apps for you by generating code, setting up a development environment, and collaborating with you during the process – led to nearly 3x company ARR in the first month
Proposed and co-led design for a new collaborative development and versioning experience that allows software engineering teams to branch and merge entire development environments, not just static commit graphs
Led design for Replit's production deployment platform, the company's first cloud services product and first strategic move toward the experienced developer market
Owned a redesign and implementation of Replit's primary marketing surface to support a new brand identity, including complex animations & interactions
Led design of an expansion on Replit's social primitives – new mechanics like following and blocking, and redesigns of social surfaces like user profiles and a following event feed
Led design for the navigation system of a vertical financial tech application serving several different professions within asset management firms – front office, trading, back office, and more
Led design for all surfaces pertaining to Client Management, Ridgeline's product area serving the front office and client outreach needs of asset management firms
Designed and maintained Ridgeline's design system, including complex and key components in financial applications like data tables and dynamic forms
