## About

Product Design Engineer with 8+ years in product design, the last several at senior and lead level. I design product experiences and ship them as working code with AI agents (Claude Code, Codex and CLI coding agents are daily tools). I design infrastructure that lets agents build with a team’s design system, I have designed products used by 15M+ people, and I build and open-source my own AI products in public on YouTube, LinkedIn and X.

> Design products that feel handcrafted. Build them at thought speed with AI.

**Based in:** Yerevan, Armenia. Open to remote work and relocation: projects, fractional or embedded work, and full-time contracts.

### Highlights

- Designed AI-ready design infrastructure for a B2B messaging platform with 100,000+ daily users: Figma tokens synced to iOS, Android and web packages, plus 4 MCP servers so coding agents reuse existing components.
- Set up Design Lab, a shared AI workspace where designers prototype on the production stack.
- Took an AI SEO startup’s website from 0% to ~5% conversion on the same traffic (119 qualified leads).
- Drove 185% revenue growth at an EdTech platform with 15M+ users by redesigning the purchase flow.
- Builds and open-sources his own products in public: YuBen (local-first YouTube research), Verro (video editing agent), KlondAIk, Lullami.
