The work, hung on the web
Case studies and field notes from designing developer-facing products. Sized by editorial weight, labeled by maturity — what shipped says so, and what's still research says that too.

Developers can be nudged
BrowserStack's test dashboards are at their best when a team integrates the SDK — and a large share of teams never did, missing most of what the product could do for them. I designed the nudge system that closed the awareness gap: behavioral choice architecture applied to an audience that famously hates being marketed to.

Onboarding is where the product argues its case
Automate TurboScale — BrowserStack's managed automation-grid offering — gained a cloud-hosted tier, and the onboarding had to sell two different value propositions without splitting into two products. I redesigned the journey around explicitly named aha moments: run a test on the trial grid, then run one on your own — and everything else got out of the way.

AI agents as first-class citizens
BrowserStack's test platform had capable AI agents that almost nobody used. I led the design initiative that reframed this as an experience problem — invisible AI is not adopted AI — and shipped the awareness system that changed it, then watched the numbers decay and got to work on why.

Trusting a model with your test suite
Teams with hour-long test suites don't need faster machines — they need to run fewer, smarter tests. I'm designing BrowserStack's exploration of predictive test selection and orchestration: the design problem isn't the ML, it's persuading an engineer to let a confidence curve decide what doesn't run before their release ships.

Where AI test authoring should land first
Everyone is building AI that writes web tests; the crowded direction is probably the wrong first move. This note holds the thesis that mobile app testing — where authoring expertise is scarcest and tooling competition thinnest — is where AI test authoring earns its keep first.

The old dashboard was right about one thing
BrowserStack's unified test dashboard had to replace two legacy dashboards that users genuinely loved in places. I led the usability work that treated their complaints as specification: the navigation friction they named became a build-switching sidebar, designed against the best on-demand panels in the industry — and a lesson in when a design system should win an argument.

Accessibility results, uninvited
Auto-enabling accessibility scans on ordinary test runs puts a11y results in front of teams who never asked for them — value realization and lead generation in one move. The design problem: presenting an uninvited, deliberately lightweight scan honestly, inside a dashboard built for a different job.

Who's using our parallels right now?
Two enterprise customers with hard capacity ceilings asked the same question in different accents: which teams are consuming our parallel test slots right now, and is the queue fair? This note maps the design space for real-time usage visibility — an API, a dashboard, or both.
