I’ve helped Quantemplate evolve from startup to mature enterprise platform, trusted by blue-chip insurers such as AXA XL. Working closely with users and engineering, I’ve brought together product strategy, systems thinking and interaction design to make complex data workflows intuitive, and establish design as a competitive differentiator.
