Curtiss-Wright / PacStar

As the Product Design Director, I led product strategy and UX architecture for a security-first platform built for network engineers and security admins managing certificate and monitoring workflows across globally deployed networks. We transformed a legacy, manual system into a cohesive, orchestration-ready foundation built for compliance, control, and automation.

Working alongside Product and Engineering leadership, I helped shape the platform vision, established system-level UX patterns, and partnered on roadmap prioritization. The work restructured certificate and network monitoring workflows into logic-driven, role-aware systems, foundational for automation and AI readiness.
