Independently, a founder who has designed and built three products with AI-assisted development — Numi (AI-powered nutrition, iOS, on the App Store), Tysha (baby sleep, iOS, 5.0 App Store rating) and Karta (QR ordering and payments for restaurants, web, public demo). I work across 0→1 product design, AI-powered experiences, complex product UX and design systems: defining the product, designing the experience, writing the code with Claude Code and Cursor, and shipping. Available for contract design-and-build projects. ## Experience ### Product Designer · DraftKings — Sportsbook, web & native 2016 — Present - Design the bet slip and checkout — the flow every wager passes through — across web and the native app (rated 4.8 from 1.2M+ App Store ratings), for millions of monthly players in 25+ regulated US states, each with its own rules. - Simplified a complex multi-bet checkout — odds changes, limits, rejections and other edge states — into a flow that measurably improved bet-placement conversion. - Own the web sportsbook experience end to end: led a responsive web redesign, keep web at feature parity with native, and maintain the shared web component library and interaction patterns. - Started on the self-service betting kiosks for retail casino sportsbooks — designing within hardware and compliance constraints alongside hardware, operations and compliance teams — rolled out across multiple casinos and states. - Partner with product and engineering leads on the roadmap, review work across squads in design critiques, and drove cross-team initiatives spanning web and native. ### Founder, Product Designer & Engineer · Karta — QR ordering & payments, web 2026 — Present - Designing and building an end-to-end restaurant platform: one QR code lets guests browse, order, split and pay in their own language with no app install. - Owner back office with real-time floor plan, menu editor, analytics, POS integrations and auto-routed payment splits between kitchen, bar and staff tips. - Built the guest web app, owner dashboard, AI menu recommender and shared design system solo. ### Founder, Product Designer & Engineer · Numi — AI nutrition app (iOS) 2025 — Present - Designed and built an AI-powered nutrition tracker end-to-end — concept, positioning, UX, design system, SwiftUI codebase and App Store release — solo, with Claude Code and Cursor generating first implementations that I reviewed and shipped. - Photo-based meal logging: snap a photo and AI analyzes calories, macros and micronutrients — replacing manual food logging entirely. - Designed a personal “Metabolic Fingerprint” insight engine plus fasting, weight and hydration tracking. ### Founder, Product Designer & Engineer · Tysha — baby-sleep app (iOS) 2026 — Present - Shipped a real-time white/pink/brown-noise generator for new parents — no loops, no accounts, no ads, fully offline.
