I’m a Product Designer passionate about crafting seamless, intelligent experiences for technical products. At Datadog, I worked at the intersection of design, engineering, and security — shaping interfaces that power some of the most complex and high-impact workflows in observability.


My approach is grounded in systems thinking, data fluency, and relentless attention to clarity. I’m particularly drawn to experiences that translate dense information into decisive action — whether that’s surfacing insights through thoughtful interaction design or simplifying the way teams work with large-scale data.

Beyond Security and Observability, I’m increasingly curious about the role of Data Analysis and AI in product design — from using models to drive personalization and predictions, to building interfaces that help humans reason more clearly in high-stakes, data-rich contexts.

I thrive where complexity meets clarity — and I’m excited to keep exploring what’s next.

RECENT WORK







1. 🔍 Redesigning Search Suggestions
   at Datadog

   2025
Search is a core interaction across Datadog, but as the platform grew, the suggestion experience became fragmented and inconsistent. What started as product-specific implementations turned into disconnected UX.
 

This project asked a simple question:

How can we make search suggestions feel clear, helpful, and reliable everywhere?

2. 🛡️ Improving the Signal Side Panel 
   in Cloud SIEM

   2025
Cloud SIEM is Datadog’s detection and response product. It helps security analysts monitor potentially malicious activity by surfacing signals — alerts generated by detection rules when suspicious behavior is observed in telemetry data.

The Signal Side Panel is the core entry point for investigating these alerts. It’s where users begin to make sense of what happened, assess risk, and take appropriate actions.

Over time, as the SIEM product evolved, the side panel became overloaded and unfocused — more a reflection of the raw data than a purpose-built analyst experience.

This led to a key question:

How can we make the signal side panel truly support triage, investigation, and action — especially for novice users?

3. 🧰 Streamlining Security Value Delivery 
   with Content Packs

   2025
Cloud SIEM enables customers to detect and respond to threats in real time. But despite powerful integrations, much of its value was hidden behind fragmented UX. Key content — detection rules, dashboards, workflows — was scattered across pages, leaving users confused and unsupported.

Users often didn’t know what value each integration could provide, how to activate it, or whether it was working correctly. Many failed to ingest the right logs or missed out on critical out-of-the-box features entirely.

This fragmentation raised a critical question:
How might we help users activate, explore, and get value from Cloud SIEM integrations — faster, with less confusion, and more confidence?
