Experience

The career timeline: roles, environments, and how the scale of impact has grown.

How the career evolved

From visual craft to analytics-ready, accessible systems

This is more than a timeline of roles. It is the story of how each chapter expanded my perspective, from graphic and information design to enterprise products, healthcare systems, public-sector platforms, analytics, and AI-assisted delivery.

Every transition added something new. Visual craft became user experience. User experience became product strategy. Product strategy evolved into enterprise thinking, where accessibility, data, infrastructure, and multidisciplinary collaboration all became part of the same conversation.

The positions below show where I worked. Together, they explain how my responsibilities, decision-making, and the scale of impact evolved over nearly three decades.
