About Me

I design the system and write the code.

Most product designers stop at handoff. Most engineers don't read the research. I do both, on the same project, for the same team.

I'm a Senior Product Designer who codes at production scale. I don't hand off designs to engineers; I orchestrate coding agents to ship them, from stakeholder research through production deployment.

Currently at Synchrony Bank (acquired Versatile Credit in 2025), I lead UX design for a $16B+ fintech platform serving 30,000+ merchants across retail, elective medical, and home improvement. Because I'm full-stack, I ship the code myself. I drove a 12% conversion lift on 6M annual applications and built OnboardIQ, the workflow product that reduced merchant onboarding from 5 days of cross-team meetings to 2 hours.

I run an agent-orchestrated, spec-driven, TDD-first practice. In the past 24 months I shipped three 0-to-1 products: Rayni (a RAG platform in daily use at scientific labs), Document Domain Agents (a domain-agnostic RAG framework), and Qualified (a financing sidecar built on MCP generative UI). LangGraph agents, RAG pipelines with pgvector, and intelligent document processing. I leverage Claude Code and systematic AI workflows to ship enterprise-scale projects that would otherwise require full teams.

Versatile Credit · part of Synchrony (NYSE: SYF)

Versatile Credit

One platform, three product surfaces. Lead designer across all three.

Versatile Credit is the consumer-financing platform behind $16B+ in financing annually, 6 million applications in 2024, and 13,000+ retail locations. The platform was recently acquired by Synchrony (NYSE: SYF). I'm the lead designer across all three of its product surfaces: the consumer-facing applications, the merchant operator console, and the internal tool Versatile uses to onboard new merchants. Three different audiences. Three different design languages. Three different design systems. One designer across all of them.

Versatile Apply

Consumer financing across 4 channels and 35+ lenders.

+157%
Near-prime approvals across Versatile merchants with high platform adoption. 6M annual applications. 3-min decision.

A consumer applies for financing once. The merchant wants that one application to reach 35+ lenders without 35 forms, 35 redirects, or 35 different compliance gauntlets. Every lender has its own gateway, fields, and regulatory language. The platform absorbs all of it with one application contract that themes per merchant and per lender. Compliance text becomes a design-system token, not content.

Versatile Transact + Analytics

Operator console and analytics surface. Themed per merchant, scoped per role.

$43M+ / 7 days
Financing managed in a single 7-day window on one elective medical partner's dashboard. 16,500+ payments processed in the same window.

Apply is the surface a consumer sees once. Transact is the surface the merchant lives in. Three jobs on one console: Launch sends an application to a customer's device by QR, email, or Snap Sign; Track exposes the lender cascade per application with full audit log; Analytics surfaces 40+ metrics across 20 facets (approvals by age, by income band, by location, by lender). Same product themed across every merchant on the platform. Multi-tenant is not a CSS layer here. Each merchant's brand color is a token, each merchant's enabled lenders are a config, each location's role permissions scope what staff can see and do. Theming is a design system, not a stylesheet.

OnboardIQ

Merchant onboarding workflow product. 0-to-1 at Versatile / Synchrony.

5 days → 2 hours
500 locations onboarded in a single session for an elective medical practice program.

Merchant onboarding ate a full cross-functional team. Five days of meetings per partner to gather configurations from sales, ops, risk, and the partner themselves. Six entity types, each with about ten metadata fields, arrived through email and Slack threads. Tickets dropped, configs drifted, and stakeholders had no visibility into program status without booking a meeting. I designed OnboardIQ from a blank canvas: a flexible workflow product that codified the entire process into configurable, partner-aware steps. Audits and automation went directly into the workflow, so validation, status, and handoffs were surfaced inline instead of chased over Slack.

Tasks.Single inbox cuts across every running deployment. 107 active, 32 done, 22 in flight, 40 overdue. The same view that replaced the weekly coordination meeting with a 5-minute daily brief.

Rayni

AI document intelligence platform. In daily production at scientific research labs.

60% faster
document verification vs. manual PDF search.

Lab technicians couldn't trust AI answers without seeing the source documents. Existing tools gave answers but no verification. I built a split-screen verification interface with citation deep-linking to exact PDF coordinates so users could validate every response. The gap-detection UX uses an 85% confidence threshold: if the model isn't sure, it asks for the missing documents instead of guessing. The pattern was later extracted into Document Domain Agents, a domain-agnostic framework for high-stakes RAG.

Workspace.Single workspace replaces six separate routes with one mode-aware shell. Three primary actions on the welcome surface: chat, knowledge, combinations.

Document Domain Agents

Domain-agnostic, high-stakes RAG framework. Extracted from Rayni.

85%
confidence threshold for the "never guess" gating policy.

Most RAG systems guess when they don't have enough information, which creates dangerous false confidence in safety-critical contexts. Document Domain Agents is the framework I extracted from Rayni for any domain where AI accuracy is non-negotiable. The gap-detection UX turns AI limitations into collaborative moments. When the system needs more, users upload the missing documents instead of losing trust in it. Verification is split-screen, BLUF formatting handles scannability, and confidence indicators are calibrated to domain risk.

Empty.Cold-start chat against a fresh corpus. The agent does nothing speculative. No canned suggestions, no inferred intent. Until a user asks, there is nothing to ground.

Qualified

AI-powered financing sidecar. A Chrome side-panel extension that surfaces multi-lender financing while you shop, with rich interactive UI rendered inline in chat.

5-lender waterfall · in chat
Synchrony (prime), Fortiva (near-prime), Acima (lease-to-own), Affirm and Klarna BNPL. Every customer qualifies for something.

Qualified is a Chrome extension that lives in the browser side panel while you shop. Tell it what you want (say, "a laptop under $1,000") and it searches products, compares them side-by-side, and surfaces real financing options from five lenders the moment intent shows, not at checkout. Architecture: React side panel → Express server on Fly.io → Claude (sonnet-4-6) with eight tool definitions → tool execution → streamed back. The wedge is MCP Apps, an extension of Anthropic's Model Context Protocol where tools return interactive HTML UIs instead of just text. Sandboxed iframes hydrate via postMessage to render comparison tables, payment calculators, product grids, and pre-filled application forms directly inside the conversation. Same multi-lender waterfall pattern as Versatile / Synchrony, reimagined as an agentic sidecar with generative UI.

Welcome.Side panel docks beside any retail site. No checkout integration required. Qualified rides along while you shop and asks what you are looking for.

MindPattern

Autonomous AI research pipeline plus an MCP-powered chat with generative UI. Personal infrastructure I run every day.

13 agents · daily
Python pipeline runs autonomously every morning. Gathers ~400 items from 8 sources, dispatches 13 research agents in parallel, synthesizes a 4,500-word newsletter, and posts to social.

MindPattern is two systems wired together. The backend is a deterministic 12-phase Python pipeline that operates as a one-person media company on autopilot: preflight data collection across eight sources (RSS, Hacker News, arXiv, GitHub, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn), parallel dispatch of thirteen specialist research agents, synthesis of 150+ findings, newsletter publishing, and platform-native social posting. A self-improving harness finds bugs in the pipeline, writes fixes using TDD, reviews its own PRs, and merges them. The public site is a chat interface built around generative UI. When the AI invokes MCP tools that return structured data, React components render directly inside the conversation instead of plain text: finding cards, source tables, health dashboards, pattern lists, skill cards. Wrapped in a Wire Room intelligence-dossier aesthetic: JetBrains Mono everywhere, manila palette, stamp badges, grid-paper textures.
