UI/UX Designer × Cyber Security × Front-End Build

I design interfaces the way a security analyst reads a system — for the failure points, not just the surface. Ten-plus years turning ambiguous requirements into wireframes, then into shipped, tested products, for healthcare, real-estate, and banking platforms.

01 — Profile

Two disciplines,
one build process.

A Computer Science background that led into visual design — and never fully left the systems side behind.

I started in Karachi, Pakistan, coordinating a core banking system rollout across five branches — requirements gathering, hardware installs, vendor management, the unglamorous plumbing that every good interface eventually sits on top of. That project shaped how I still work: understand the data and the risk before you draw a single screen.

Since relocating to Jacksonville, I've led UI/UX for admin platforms, patient-facing portals, and e-commerce sites — wireframing in Figma and Axure, building the front end in React and Angular, and validating everything with real usability testing before it ships. In 2024–2025 I added formal security and responsible-AI credentials on top of a decade of design practice, because the products I build increasingly need to hold up under both scrutiny.

01

Product Design

Wireframes → prototypes → high-fidelity mockups in Figma, Adobe XD & Sketch.

02

Front-End Build

React, Angular 6/7, HTML5/CSS3, JavaScript — design that ships, not just renders.

03

Systems Thinking

Requirements discovery, information architecture, admin & enterprise tooling.

04

Security Literacy

CompTIA Security+, responsible-AI & AI-risk training layered onto design work.

RPR — Residential Property Report Admin

Owned UX and data-point discovery for an internal residential-property reporting tool from the ground up — whiteboarding sessions, wireframes, and rapid Axure prototyping carried through to final design mocks. Built for an audience of internal analysts, not end consumers, so the priority was information density without losing clarity.

HR Admin Enterprise Platform

Led the design track for an internal HR administration system alongside the property report tool, taking on team-lead responsibilities for the first time. Componentized the UI in Angular 6/7 for reuse across both platforms — custom directives for tables and maps meant one build served two very different admin surfaces.

Patient-Facing Portal Redesign

Converted user research and stakeholder requests into journey maps, personas, and storyboards for a healthcare provider's digital front door. Rebuilt the site's mockups in Adobe XD and Figma, then implemented the front end in React — closing the loop between the research phase and the shipped interface myself.

Multi-Site E-Commerce Refresh

Managed design and ongoing updates for two to three company e-commerce websites at once, plus a companion Android app. Sketches through to Adobe XD prototypes, with manual QA on every UI element before release — a small team doing the work of a much bigger one.

Core Banking System Rollout

Coordinated the interface and infrastructure side of a Core Banking Solution migration across five Sindh Bank branches in Karachi — signature-image capture software, hardware and OS configuration, vendor coordination, and acting branch-manager duties during deployment. The project that first put design decisions next to security and compliance ones.
