Hi, I'm Augustine. I design complex B2B products end to end: systems, flows, edge cases and the handoff engineers build from.
Senior Product Designer at Bayse, a financial markets and prediction trading platform with 380K+ users, where I own the design system, core trading flows and every interface state in between.
Previously I led design at HeySynth, designing AI-native forecasting and supply-chain tools for CPG brands doing $5M–$100M+ in revenue. I follow work through implementation: QA on staging builds, annotated tickets, and retesting fixes. Web, iOS, and Android. Based in GMT+1 (remote-friendly). Open to relocate.
