I run the heuristic audit, design the fix, and ship it into the codebase that implements the interface — research, design, and production code in one pair of hands. I go where the software is hardest: high-stakes, data-dense, technical products where getting it right actually matters.

The systems map

A decade-plus across the full genomics-to-diagnostics workflow.

Fifteen shipped products across every stage from assay design to reporting. I led or owned the design on most, and was sole designer on the flagship platforms.

Let’s make complex software usable.

Open to product design and design-engineering roles — remote or Dallas–Fort Worth. Complex, data-dense software especially. If you’re trying to make something genuinely hard easy to use, I’d love to hear about it.
