Hey! I'm Vlad

UI/UX Product Engineer

Download my CV

I strive for great user experiences and slick interfaces. And I have fun implementing them.

With over a decade of professional experience — including four years focused on user interface development, product ownership, and agile delivery — I bridge the gap between UI/UX and Development, bringing design and engineering closer together. I have helped launch five products from the ground up, covering the full design lifecycle: from user research and wireframing to backlog ownership and technical user stories. My front-end styling background — amplified by AI-accelerated workflows — means I ship developer-ready UI that connects business goals with implementation. I am self-taught across design and code.

I also use modern AI tools to accelerate the path from Figma to production without sacrificing fidelity. As a certified Scrum Master, I keep an eye on efficient communication within and between teams. I care about product direction, intuitiveness, and scalability.
