AI-Powered Product Designer & Architect | Fintech, HealthTech, SaaS

Expert Vetted (Top 1%). Founder of Sanel Studio. I don't just design your product, I architect it, prototype it, and get it to market. I'm a one-person product team for funded startups and enterprise companies who need to move fast without hiring five people. I use AI tooling (Claude Code, Stitch, V0) to deliver what used to take a designer, a PM, and a frontend dev. Recent example: 81 interactive screens, production-ready, with a full design system — built and delivered faster than most studios finish a discovery phase. Another: a complete native macOS medical application, 45,000 lines of Swift, shipped to TestFlight — built entirely through AI-assisted development. What I deliver that other designers don't: → Product architecture. I write PRDs, define data models, map information architecture, and make product decisions — not just pixel decisions. I've simplified broken taxonomies, designed regulatory compliance systems, and built approval rule engines. → Interactive prototypes that actually work. Not Figma clickthroughs — real React and Next.js prototypes deployed to Vercel that engineering can reference, stakeholders can demo, and investors can interact with. → AI-native workflows. I built a design pipeline where AI generates code, code converts to Figma, and Figma ships to developers — all documented with reusable prompt playbooks. This is why I deliver 10x the scope at a fraction of agency pricing. → Full go-to-market. I've set up and managed Google Ads campaigns, built GA4/GTM analytics stacks, run SEO strategy, and achieved 14.6% conversion rates on landing pages I designed and built. Verticals I know deeply: fintech (consumer banking, DeFi, high-risk payments, trading), healthtech (clinical workflows, medical devices, regulatory compliance), B2B SaaS (MarTech dashboards, CRE platforms, enterprise tools), and consumer mobile. Published apps: SoFi, EndoMac, PrepSync, Funding Circle, Motif, Wend, Odola, Xace, Qirnas, Faith Interactive, Intelidate. I work with a limited number of clients to ensure the quality that got me Expert Vetted. Message me with your product challenge.

San Francisco, California
$20 per hour
3 jobs

I turn messy data and manual, repetitive work into clean, automated systems and internal tools that save your team hours every week. You tell me the task, the file, and the result you want, and I hand it back working, documented, and easy to run yourself. I'm an independent consultant and developer with a Management Information Systems degree (Ateneo de Manila) and 10 years in product management, technical pre-sales, and software delivery across fintech and IT, including GCash / Globe Fintech (Mynt). Most recently I served as Project Director of iCASH, I-Remit's mobile e-wallet, leading it from concept to production launch. I've shipped real products end to end, so I focus on your goal, not just the task. WHAT I DO BEST - Excel & Google Sheets automation: dashboards, formulas (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, SUMIFS), pivot tables, and auto-calculating templates - Data cleaning, merging & de-duplication: turn messy multi-file data into one reliable, consistently formatted master sheet - Google Apps Script automation: auto-emails, scheduled triggers, PDF generation, and sheet-to-sheet sync - Custom Python scripts: process and convert data, organize files, collect data into clean CSVs, and automate manual work - Custom web & mobile apps for internal processes: dashboards and tools built in React/Next.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL - Live crypto & stock trackers: watchlists, portfolio profit/loss, and trading journals (I am an active trader myself) - PDF / image to clean Excel or Word: typed and checked by hand, not just auto-converted - Website add-ons: contact forms, maps, chat buttons, and fast, mobile-friendly landing pages WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME - Business and technical background, so I translate a real-world need into a working solution - Clear communication and fast replies. I confirm anything unclear before I guess - Detail-oriented. Every entry, formula, and result is double-checked before delivery - Reliable and on time, always with a short how-it-works note so your team can run it without me ITIL Foundation certified. Available 30+ hours a week and responsive across time zones. Send me a message with what you need, and I'll reply with a clear plan and timeline.
