Patrick Nguyen — Product Engineer

I design it,build it,and ship it.

Most people do one of the three. The page you're reading is the proof I do all three — every pixel designed, every line written, by me.

01 — 03

Three disciplines. One person.

The approach

01Design

I make it make sense.

Five years turning ambiguous requirements into interfaces people actually understand — flows, hierarchy, and the unglamorous details that decide whether a product gets used.

Product UI/UX
Figma
Design systems
Interaction & flows

02Engineering

I make it real.

CS major who ships. I build responsive, accessible front-ends in React, Next.js, and TypeScript — and care about the build passing as much as the pixels matching.

React / Next.js
TypeScript
Tailwind CSS
Accessible UI

03Business

I know why it matters.

Business minor. I don't just take the ticket — I ask what moves the metric, then design and build toward that instead of toward whatever was easiest to spec.

Product sense
Prioritization
Metrics & tradeoffs
Stakeholder clarity

Proof, not promises.

The one-line version

Need someone who can design it, build it, and tell you why it matters?

I'm looking for a full-time team where design and engineering aren't two different desks. Open to select freelance, too.
