Case 01 · Human-AI decision systems
AI-Assisted Review Workstation
Evidence-centered review with explicit human decisions.
Product Designer · enterprise SaaS · human-AI · complex systems
I turn complex systems into products people can trust.
I design enterprise SaaS, platform, identity & trust, and human-AI workflows from ambiguous opportunity through shipped product.

Flagship · human-AI decisions
AI narrows attention. People own the judgment.
I designed a shipped review workstation that keeps model signals, video evidence, and explicit human decisions in one auditable workflow.

// INDEPENDENT 0→1 PRODUCT WORK
From an ambiguous problem to a decision worth investing in.
Through independent venture work, I frame the root problem, reimagine the work around people and AI, and build enough of the strongest direction to generate better evidence. HuntMate is the current case.

How I work
Principles visible in the product.
These are operating choices, not a separate philosophy layer.
Evidence before assertion.
Show source, state, and context before asking someone to act.
Recovery is a primary path.
Design retry, escalation, and human handoff before failure becomes a dead end.
Systems, not isolated screens.
Map people, models, devices, roles, and services around the decision.
People I shipped with
