Resume

Co-Founder, Head of Product

2022 - Present

I joined Cube in mid-2022 as the Head of Product. While I was following crypto research since 2016 and helped many crypto projects as a contractor, I have never worked on a blockchain project full-time. Working on Cube allowed me to focus on this new frontier and deepen my product thinking and crypto research skills.

• Helped define the product structure, from technical definitions to user experience
• Authored company’s first patent
• Designed the UI for adminisrative interfaces

Lead Designer

2019 - 2021

Contracting as a Product Designer

2019 - 2021

From early 2019, I was looking to find a good balance between product design contracting and building my own projects. During these years I selectively took on some of the most interesting contracting opportunities and helped build new products. Some of the most interesting projects include:

• Teachers Lead Tech, a teachers eduction platform
• Millo, a portable blender with a minimal hardware design
• Oxygen, a telehealth platform

I helped Tipi define an alternative team communication platform, focused on meaningful disucssions and focused attention management.

In addition to that, I conducted over 30 user interviews to help identify most promising product development directions.

I have also contributed to Treatwell rebrand in 2016, and helped establish design systems for both Marketplace and Connect.
