ELIMINATE THE REWORK TAX
SENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER & SYSTEMS LEAD
I deliver logic-locked specs that stop your $200/hr engineers from playing Requirement Detective, and install the structural guardrails that keep your AI agents from breaking production.
THE DUAL THREAT
1. The Manual Triage Bottleneck (The Human Tax)
Standard high-fidelity designs leave critical system logic unresolved. When a spec misses an edge case, senior engineers must stop building and start decoding. They burn 30% of their sprint playing requirement detective—scrubbing databases, fixing race conditions, and sending work back for clarification.
2. The "High-Speed Yes Man" (The AI Threat)
With AI coding agents, execution speed is solved—but integrity is not. AI agents don't ask for clarification; they bridge ambiguity with plausible hallucinations. If your design specs are "unlocked," the AI simply ships broken logic faster than your lead dev can peer-review it.
You have a talented team and a clear roadmap, yet engineering velocity stalls at the handoff. This isn't a failure of effort—it’s a failure of governance. Today’s technical pipelines break under two specific threats:
VELOCITY WITHOUT VALIDITY IS JUST AUTOMATED CHAOS.
You cannot design your way out of a logic problem. You must architect the constraints.
THE METHODOLOGY
LOGIC BEFORE PIXELS. VALIDITY BEFORE VELOCITY.
Most teams try to fix engineering speed by forcing designers to work faster. I reverse the flow. By treating UI deliverables as a technical instruction set, I architect the system states so the front-end never makes a promise the back-end cannot immediately validate.
I do not eliminate product iteration; I eliminate logic-triage. I am the biological firewall between your ambiguous product requirements and your database.
What I deliver:
✺ Hardened Edge-Cases: No more Happy Path assumptions.
✺ State Integrity Maps: Every transition and failure mode resolved.
✺ Structural Insurance (Zero Logic-Triage): Human devs use inherent doubt to stop and ask questions; AI agents use inherent confidence to hallucinate the gaps. I lock the logic so your builder is executing a spec, not guessing your business intent.
CHECK CAPACITY
HOW I ENGAGE.
Stop the bleed. Choose your intervention based on your immediate sprint constraints.
A clinical stress test of your product’s technical logic. Identify the “unlocked” requirements triggering the rework tax and causing AI hallucinations—finding the validity gap before it hits your production sprint. I do not audit for product iteration; I audit to eliminate Logic-Triage.
A 5-day surgical strike to harden the logic of one high-risk AI feature. Install the machine-readable logic locks that keep automated builds from guessing intent—preventing hallucinations before they corrupt your database. I do not write prompts; I architect the boundaries of systemic reality.
A heavy-hitting, contract design partner dropped into your backlog to ensure every ticket is build-ready. I embed directly into your environments to act as "The Backlog Hunter"—taking messy product requirements and translating them into logic-locked specs so your engineers can actually code.
