open for select engagementssee [06]10 years designing B2B and B2C products.From 15-person design lead to solo founder.From wireframe to merge commit.Designer–engineer. AI is the default toolchain.
Founder-built B2B SaaS unifying HRMS, project management, and finance — with a native AI insights layer.
Mid-market teams stitch HR, PM, and finance across 5–7 tools. Approvals, permissions, and reporting fracture across them.
Unified HR, project management, and finance into one component system — multi-role workflow primitives (approval chains, permission scopes, payroll, reporting) spanning four surfaces: a web app, a desktop time-tracker, a chat PWA, and biometric attendance hardware. AI is embedded as a functional layer that surfaces anomalies, recommendations, and team-signal inside the power user's workflow.
Built solo from 0→1 in months instead of quarters by treating LLMs as the default toolchain. Pre-launch; payment and GDPR infrastructure complete.
