Onboarding new users

I develop user-centric, cloud-based cybersecurity SaaS solutions for various IBM products, including the QRadar Suite and CloudPak for Security. Currently, I am part of the platform team at Guardium Data Security Center, where I design new features and workflows that can be utilized across different areas of the platform. My goal is to enhance consistency, build trust, and instill confidence in our users.

I oversaw the work's art/design direction, using my judgment to manage the day-to-day details of each project.

Aldeia is a Nonprofit organization that helps kids learn about photography and filmmaking. I was fortunate to teach and create exercises to encourage students in both arts. It was also very fulfilling to help create graphic design products (books, posters) to promote the student projects. It was a very humble and splendid experience to help students engage and develop their artistic skills.
