Modernizing Scientific Software Through Product Design Strategy

How do you modernize mission-critical software used by scientists without disrupting the workflows they depend on? I led the shift from instrument-centered applications to a workflow-centered experience, building toward a more extensible direction for materials science research.

Simplifying a Scientific Platform to Improve Adoption

A powerful materials platform whose legacy interface made it hard to learn and adopt beyond expert users. I led discovery and product definition, changing the product model — reorganizing a fragmented experience into a single, familiar input–compute–output workflow to lower the barrier to entry for users beyond the expert core.

Designing the Human Layer in an AI Workflow

Photographers didn’t trust automated picks they couldn’t interrogate or correct — earlier automation attempts had failed despite the technology working. I led UX strategy and product design direction to orchestrate 30+ ML algorithms into a single calibration-driven workflow, making recommendations legible, adjustable, and reversible rather than automating photographer judgment.

Reported review time: approximately 18.5 hours to about 1 hour.
