"Zahid has successfully delivered and deployed HCM within our company."
That's from the client review that landed on my profile this week, for OneHub โ the payroll and people-operations platform I built for TechFoundry. Monthly payroll with fiscal-year tax withholding, payslips and tax certificates on demand, expense reports read line by line by Claude, and one reporting layer so the dashboard, the payslip and the certificate always agree.
The word I care about in that review is "deployed". Delivered means the code works. Deployed means payroll runs on it every month, people are paid the right amount, and nobody has to call me.
The thing I'd do differently: the tax rules started out hard-coded. Fine for one country, one fiscal year โ until it wasn't. We later pulled them out into a rules engine so the same payroll runs across countries without touching the code. Next time that's day one, not a refactor.
It's also a Contra-verified project โ the work was paid through Contra, so the review and the case study are tied to the same engagement. Case study: https://contra.com/p/Y3EgrEUc-payroll-and-people-operations-platform
Designing the moments between money and trust.
A few screens from an ongoing fintech product weโre working on.
Financial products have a strange design challenge:
they need to feel simple enough to understand, but serious enough to trust.
For this product, weโve been working across flows like subscriptions, account management, portfolio-related information, and customer support โ with a focus on making every interaction feel intentional.
The goal isnโt to make fintech โlook modern.โ
Itโs to make complex things feel obvious.
Clear hierarchy.
Less cognitive load.
Stronger interaction patterns.
And a visual system that can scale as the product grows.
Still a work in progress โ but hereโs a little glimpse at where weโre heading.
The screens strike a good balance between reassurance and personalityโthe trust cue is clear without making the flow feel sterile. The card hierarchy also reads well at a glance.
