Leadership in Financial Technology

I led a team of Engineers & Designers in building seamless, consistent desktop and mobile experiences in the FinTech space. Operating within an agile framework, the team delivered high-quality user experiences with rapid turnaround times. I focused on coaching the Design team to articulate design choices effectively, fostering stakeholder trust through clear communication and collaboration. In the Engineering side, I coached Engineers on UI & Backend architecture, agile planning and quality assurance.

I worked alongside Customer Service & Support and Engineering Leadership in the release of products through the software development lifecycle for both desktop and mobile technologies. My Team’s key focus was in quality execution and excepional experiences (No bugs, please!).

Design System &
Component Library

I collaborated on the creation of a comprehensive design system and component library, driving consistency, efficiency, and collaboration across teams. From leading a team that set the vision and execution, I directed efforts to ensure engineering precision and alignment with design principles. This included defining component behaviors, establishing robust documentation, and creating reusable assets that streamlined workflows for developers and designers alike.

By fostering cross-functional collaboration and a shared understanding, I empowered teams to deliver cohesive, user-focused products with greater speed and reliability.

AI-Driven Design-to-Code Innovation

I curated and partnered with a team of talented Designers, Product Managers and Engineers in exploring AI-driven solutions to bridge the gap between design and development, leveraging Figma plugins and evaluating cutting-edge software. By implementing tools that streamlined the export of designs to code, we accelerated the discovery process and enabled rapid iteration of competitive ideas.

This initiative significantly reduced time to execution, empowering teams to innovate and deliver faster. The outcomes helped shape our approach to discovery and reinforced our commitment to staying ahead in a competitive market.
