• Nagios, an open-source observability platform, needed a long overdue frontend overhaul for their flagship product. I spearheaded the frontend redesign and development.

• Created the design files in Figma (we don't have a design team), which included the design of multiple dashboards, authentication flows, and over 45 screens. The team used these screens to implement the UI.
• Independently made the company's first AI-driven feature, an Elasticsearch query model.
• Deployed LLM calling and Retrieval Augmented Generation workflows, fine tuned on synthetic datasets, created Language Model benchmarks.
• Worked on all manner of bugs and investigated product issues: gave customer support directly, wrangled inconsistent docs, and advised on developer experience.
