“UX/product designer with deep healthcare and mission-critical software experience across 3M Healthcare, GE Healthcare, and Motorola.

“Game QA lead with 20+ years of tooling and workflow experience, most recently leading QA on a Unity-based MLB mobile title with annual releases and major feature updates. Led QA for the PS Vita port of Borderlands 2 focused on technical requirements, performance, and usability, including making a key ship-risk call to limit multiplayer players. Known for disciplined Jira/TestRail administration, strong cross-functional communication, and uncovering critical submission-blocking issues with clear evidence and repro steps.”

“UX/product designer in a medical laboratory B2B portal context who prototypes beyond Figma—built a GPT-based settings chatbot to address findability and low settings adoption, iterating through 11 tested versions with regression safeguards and structured prompts to mitigate instruction truncation/hallucinations. Also redesigned clinic order management by separating doctor vs assistant experiences and introducing step-based status views for a long, multi-stage lab order lifecycle; former full-stack engineer who improves design-to-dev handoffs via templates and readiness rituals.”

“Product/UX designer focused on AI governance and GRC, who led end-to-end design of IBM Watsonx.governance by unifying previously siloed products (OpenPages, OpenScale, Factsheets) into a role-based platform for proactive risk detection and audit-ready compliance. Combines deep field research with strong technical fluency (CS degree, SQL, API-aware collaboration) and has shipped award-winning work (iF Gold 2025) with market recognition (IDC MarketScape Leader).”

“Game designer with shipped multiplayer FPS experience on XDefiant, owning end-to-end mode design and tuning (Capture the Flag) and co-designing the Hardpoint spawn system across maps.
