Strengths
Interested in working involving
I’m looking for a role where I can combine my skills in AI tools, coding, and user-centered design. I’m especially interested in opportunities that allow me to prototype and build, run usability tests, and continuously improve products based on real user feedback. Ideally, I’d be contributing to meaningful, ethical tech that values both innovation and accessibility.
Not interested in work involving

I avoid work related to military applications or any projects where there’s a risk of harm to individuals or communities. I’m passionate about ethical design and prefer to focus on technologies that have a clear benefit to people’s lives.

Other information

I offer a unique blend of UX design, coding, AI tooling, and cybersecurity awareness, grounded in ethical architecture. I've successfully led projects and recently launched a hackathon organisation to empower underrepresented builders. I'm particularly interested in innovative roles within internet companies, games, fintech, AI, or more. Anywhere that creativity, security, and positive impact intersect.

I was their mentor

This developer is a true builder, who leads and executes with creative flair and technical excellence. As their mentor on the Catalysr Accelerate Program, I watched this developer transform their ideas into real-world traction with relentless dedication and a rare openness to keep learning, iterating, and expanding their possibilities as a founder. They bring diverse streams of people together in ways that make tech solutions feel accessible and collaborative. I look forward to following their journey as they build one of the most engaging creative communities and beyond into the world.

Work experience

Proudest professional achievement

Earlier in my career, I led the UX rebrand of Gfycat, which helped double its user base. My design was later reused for a sister site, and I contributed to patent-backed features that led to licensing deals. I also created partnership demos and board-facing pitch decks that supported the company’s eventual acquisition by Snapchat.
