A decade designing human-centered, trust-first AI across conversational, voice, and touch interfaces — for non-deterministic systems that don't behave the same way twice. And I build the tooling, not only the mockups.
Selected work — four case studies ↓
Designing the human-facing layer around agents that act on their own: how a person reads an unattended run, redirects it, undoes it, and stays accountable. Shipped as Project Perception, now in public preview inside Microsoft Defender. Half open — the launch film and what shipped are public. The case study behind it is password-protected; ask me and I'll hand the password over.
An AI contract lifecycle platform built on SharePoint Premium's content AI services — metadata extraction, document classification, clause analysis. My design framework was adopted org-wide.
An AI-assisted, tri-modal banking app — conversational chat, voice, and touch — built for immigrants navigating English-language and literacy barriers.
A product that runs a real AI agent through real tasks on your site and shows where it fails, and why. Designed, written and built solo — product, browser automation, data model and the deterministic detection layer behind the evidence claim.
There's more — Puente, Learner Management, and Smart RX — plus experience, skillset and additional impact.
Placed so agents can run more freely, not less
What can be undone decides what can be autonomous
