For the past few years, I’ve been building real products, not demos or experiments, but systems with users, roles, workflows, and decisions that matter once live. I work as a no-code software engineer, but my experience goes beyond one tool. I’ve built different products and learned lessons that only appear when you’re deep in the work. Some lessons came from things working well, many came from things breaking or needing a different approach. Until now, I kept most thoughts to myself, but sharing thinking publicly requires confidence, and keeping everything internal has felt limiting. This is me changing that, a space to document what I’m learning, reflect on decisions, and share lessons while building products.

Imagine being so deep in build mode that it almost feels like cheating.
Not gonna lie, that’s been me since the start of the Makeathon. Going all out to create an entry I can genuinely be proud of.
It made me truly understand what “Rome wasn’t built in a day” actually means. The web wasn’t either. It’s years of evolution. Every interaction, every icon, every tiny functionality lives in our muscle memory more than we realize. Re-imagining something so ingrained was not easy. But that’s exactly why I took the challenge. And it feels worth it.
350 prompts and 12 Diet Cokes later, here’s everything I reimagined:
1. Scroll interactions
2. 3D for web
3. Gallery systems
4. Icon interactions
5. Button states
6. Endless scroll
7. Zoom in and zoom out
8. Gyro-based exploration
9. Motion design systems
10. Scroll-triggered animations

Title: The Impact Swipe: Re-imagining Daily Fintech
Description: "I used Figma Make to re-imagine the iconic 'swipe' interaction to shape a culture of financial mindfulness. Instead of passive spending, users 'Swipe Right' on transactions to instantly round up spare change into a savings vault.
This project turns a boring banking task into a dopamine-hitting, gamified experience. It moves digital finance away from mindless buying toward intentional impact, making sustainability and saving a seamless part of every transaction.
Modern E-commerce Product Experience
Online shopping should feel clear and effortless, not overwhelming. For this challenge, I designed a clean product page focused on helping users make faster, more confident buying decisions through strong visual hierarchy and intuitive interaction.
Design Focus
• Product first layout
• Clear size and color selection
• Minimal, conversion focused interface
• Clean spacing and usability driven design
Designed in Figma for the #FigmaMakeathon challenge.
