long-term usability. The goal is to make products clear, approachable, and
genuinely enjoyable to use.

API, SDK, and developer-facing UX design and refinement
Documentation structure and onboarding experience
Reducing friction in setup, usage, and integration
Building trust and long-term engagement with developers
