# Evgeny Shkuratov · Product Design Engineer

> Evgeny Shkuratov is a Product Design Engineer with 8+ years of experience. He designs product experiences and ships them as working code with AI: UX, design systems, motion and interactive 3D web.

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.
