Employment

Product Designer
2015 - PRESENT
Toptal
- Worked with 30+ clients from all over the world spanning a wide variety of industries.
- Took part in Toptal Projects—which consists of teams assembled and managed by Toptal for clients —as well as some minor Toptal internal projects.
- Worked with the screening team for two years, interviewing designers who'd like to join Toptal whilst taking part in the ongoing work on how the process could be improved.

Product Designer
2019 - 2021
Freedom Robotics
- Designed the initial look and feel of the product to give it a "Tony Stark feel" as request by the client. At this time, the platform for robotics monitoring, analysis, and control I was working at was focused on startup-level robotics companies.
- Changed direction and started to work with enterprise-level clients. This required a direction change in the design language and over many iterations I made sure the interface evolved into a more enterprise-friendly version.
- Helped design the concept of fleets. The client was unsure of how to group and present the user's robots. Seeing how every user could be different, I helped them come up with the concept of fleets, which was a flexible way of grouping devices.
- Helped implement zones structure to the existing fleets (zones were smaller groups nested in each other under fleets).
- Designed the pilot experience. The user could either control their robots from a first-person perspective with the help of the cameras on the robot and a joystick interface or on a map, they could give direct commands and designate routes.
- Designed the new dashboard creation flow, where the user can add data topics as they needed, resize easily, drag and drop and create their dashboards according to their needs.
Technologies: ROS, InVision, Framer, Sketch
Product Designer
2018 - 2021
Visuo (via Toptal)
- Designed a fun-but-simple journey for users with no experience in video editing to be able to generate videos that they can use as their marketing material.
- Designed the product to look and feel trendy according to the most popular style at the time.
- Worked on interactions to ease the video generation process, without sacrificing the capabilities of the product.
- Maintained the relationship and got to work with the client time and time again as they needed new iterations on their product over the years.
Technologies: Sketch, InVision
Product Designer
2019 - 2019
Graphaware — Hume (via Toptal)
- Designed an annotation tool to train HUME, a natural language AI.
- Worked on different aspects of the annotation, such as defining entities, co-references, and relationships, all of which required a different method to annotate.
- Used visual cues to keep the annotation process intuitive and leveraged the keyboard to provide the user with shortcuts for repetitive tasks.

- Got the chance to work in a completely different media, as Weframe is a big screen designed to enhance in-person meetings.
- Worked on the collaboration tool that enables collaboration in a meeting, both right on the board using touch interactions, as well as connecting to the board with personal smartphones and being able to create and add to the content on the board.
- Designed interactions that were intuitive yet powerful that connected the two different kinds of media (the board and the phones) and removed the friction between devices whilst collaborating.
