Design Systems & DesignOps Lead · Bank CenterCredit
5 years building design systems — large-scale, cross-platform, FinTech
The best sign the system works is that nobody calls me
Every question that reaches me is a gap in the docs, the tooling, or the contribution model. I read support volume as a bug count, not as proof of how needed I am.
When the bottleneck is a person, I write code
Most design system problems look like discipline problems until you count them. So I stopped writing guidelines about handoff errors and shipped a Figma plugin that catches them at review time. A tool gets used; a guideline gets bookmarked.
I argue with numbers, and I lose to them too
Health score, adoption rate, coverage. Without a number, quality is just the loudest opinion in the room. The rule applies to me as well — when the data says my call was wrong, the call changes.
Ten recommendations on LinkedIn — from the directors who managed me, the designers and developers who reported to me, and the teams next to mine
All recommendations on LinkedIn ↗Injury kept me off boxing. Built a computer vision trainer on MediaPipe and Python: tracks body keypoints, counts reps, manages rest, coaches out loud. The goal — remove every reason to skip a session
Built a Python script that pulls market metrics via API and syncs broker data — stores history, explains each indicator, tells me when to act. Next: an LLM layer
Loaded Obsidian with everything about my apartment — electrical, plumbing, ergonomics, renovation mistakes. Now I discuss every decision with Claude instead of guessing
I box — when the shoulder cooperates. Hit the gym, watch football, say yes to most active plans. I think better after training. That's the real reason
I mix in my spare time — not at clubs, for myself. Building a set feels satisfying the same way building a system does: structure, flow, no dead air. Yusuke Yukimatsu is the ceiling I'm reaching for
No singing — genuinely no ear for it. But I've got Sadness and Sorrow, the Godfather theme, and enough others to fill a quiet evening
Currently: The Count of Monte Cristo and Cyberpunk's Phantom Liberty. Board games that punish bad decisions — Pandemic, Munchkin. Films where the visual language carries half the story: Ghost in the Shell, Spider-Verse, Son of the White Mare
