I had an article trending on HN last week about "words with spaces" in English. I can help you make your complicated system be more usable for your consumers.
I have a track record that spans from govt services (I created time.gov in 1999), visualizations (SpicyNodes, 40M users), AI-based health info before AI was a thing (ProstateCalculator, 1.5M patients), and association-based word games (two games, plus a game-centric game studio, NSF funded w/ $295K SBIR). I also judge games for several awards (IGF, MagFest, CODiE, GEE, Serious Games).
How can I help you? Maybe your project needs an overall product vision, or incremental improvements that help first-time and long-time users know and (enjoy!) using your product.
I would love to work with your team in a product/design leadership role, at a smallish-company. I can work with developer tools, learning platforms, knowledge products, brain health, creative AI.
