Summary
I take products from a rough idea to something people can use: research, user flows, prototypes in Figma — and then a working build, shipped with Claude Code.
I started as a mechanical design engineer at the Motor Sich aviation plant, modelling diagnostic systems for helicopters. That is where I learned that details are not optional.
Since 2019 I have designed websites, dashboards and product interfaces — first for clients on Upwork, then in-house at Purple Wave and Growkal. Today I design and build end to end: SaaS, online stores, landing pages and browser games.
