BUBURUZA

Global financial platform and crypto service

I designed the money layer of a US fintech platform: ACH, domestic wire, SWIFT and stablecoin transfers living inside one account structure.

When the consumer bet did not work out, the team turned toward US businesses and we shipped a new MVP in three months.

Rosatom (ASE)

Nuclear Construction Planning

Contractors plan years of construction work in this system, and every missed dependency turns into real money.

I designed the planning core: a Gantt chart, an Excel-like calendar grid and a work breakdown tree. Then I built the design system three other product teams took for themselves.

Omega

Platform for global business and international payments

A London fintech at pre-seed with no product yet and a long list of hypotheses. Most of them died.

Business banking survived, and I designed the MVP the team took into its investment round.

Nedra Digital

Engineering software and business consulting

The registry was one fixed grid, and every team needed a different slice of it.

I made the panels movable: people rearrange them, group the ones they use together, and drop what they never open. Engagement doubled after release.

N26

Queue tickets for a branchless bank

N26 has no branches, which makes the question interesting: what would waiting look like if this bank ever needed a room with a line in it.

I prototyped the ticket as part of the app. You pick a reason for the visit and take a slot before leaving home, then watch your position move while you travel. If the line runs faster than you do, the app holds your place or shifts you to the next window.

A banking app I build for myself

The goal is a strange one. Make issuing a virtual card feel so good that you open the app just to do it again, with nothing to spend on.

Still unfinished. It moves forward every time another banking app annoys me, so it moves fairly often.

I have been designing products for eight years, three of them in fintech. Before that I spent four years inside an industrial enterprise system, which is where I learned that the hard part of design is rarely the screen.

I care more about why a solution exists than how polished it looks. I work end to end: discovery, architecture, interaction, UI, UX copy, and design review of what actually shipped.

I also build my flows as working code, with real transitions and interaction, usually with AI in the loop. A clickable flow answers questions a static mockup only postpones, and engineers get behavior instead of guesswork. The same instinct goes into design systems: clean structure, predictable naming, and an update pipeline the team can run without me.
