Redesigning Register Tables

ecoPortal is an enterprise health and safety platform used by large organizations across New Zealand, Australia, and the UK. Register Tables, the core view for browsing thousands of records, were powerful but hard to use. I led the redesign end to end, from research through to shipping a React rebuild that replaced the legacy view. The release saw over 60% adoption and strong positive feedback from Customer Success.

2026MVPABC Empleos

A jobs platform for Paraguay

ABC is one of the largest newspapers in Paraguay. ABC Empleos is its new jobs platform, connecting candidates with recruiters across the country. As lead designer I worked on both the candidate facing portal and the recruiter platform. Over three months we went from zero to a live MVP through interviews and workshops with recruiters and several rounds of prototyping. The first version is in production with real applications coming in and strong early numbers.

A note

The work above isn't flashy on purpose. Safety platforms, jobs boards, video tools: software people open because they need it. I've spent nine years making that kind of product feel considered, and I'm careful about what I put my name on.

Remote from Asunción since day one, with teams in New Zealand, the US, and Latin America. Paraguay keeps New York's hours. English fluent, Spanish native.

Not job hunting, but the inbox is open: consulting, good conversations, or a second opinion on something you're building.
