Design Engineering

Designed in Figma. Shipped with Claude.

01

Figma

Explore quickly, build components against real product constraints, treat the file as a living spec — not a finished mock.

02

OpenRouter

Connect Anthropic, Gemini, and other frontier models into the app through one unified API — wiring them into product workflows to automate the steps that used to be manual.

03

Claude Code

Run agentic workflows for larger surfaces — refactors, design-system audits, and end-to-end implementation that would take days, finished in hours.

OtterX — Solana trading terminal interface
The result

A fully shipped crypto trading terminal.

OtterX is what this process looks like end-to-end. Buy signals, wallet tracking, Jupiter autotrading via base64 integration, and a journaling layer for web3 traders — designed in Figma, built with Claude as a coding partner, deployed across Vercel (frontend) and Vultr (backend). From idea to live trading terminal in days, not months.
