I came to product design from geology. Turns out both jobs are mostly about staring at something complicated until it stops being complicated.

Products I've built for myself… and my husband

A personal job dashboard

Problem: As a job seeker, I lost track of where I stood with each application. Existing trackers rely on third-party plugins and require yet another account.

Solution: Using Claude I created a job tracking dashboard that connects to my email, creates cards for each job application, auto-tracks their status, and updates based on the most recent email about that job. The user can also edit and add notes manually

Learnings: I learned about parsing emails, how Google Cloud Authentication is set up and works, how to prompt Claude in a way to get results without wasting tokens. I also learned that it is good to take things step by step and define the main product and then add more features from there

QGIS Plugin for Catchment Anaysis

Problem: My husband had to map out catchments and subsequequent samples from a DEM. There was no quick way to do it in QGIS and the only other option was to purchase an expensive package or spend hours doing it manually.

Solution: I built him a plugin for QGIS using Claude Chat that was able to map out the catchment areas to the catchment size that he wanted and generate sample points that would be representative of those catchments. This allowed him to quickly put together a sampling campaign and move on to other work.

Learnings: I learned about QGIS, Python and mathmatical methods needed to build this plugin. I also learned a lot about asking open questions to the user to get a better understanding of their needs. Additionally, I learned about prioritizing features and adding nice to haves at the end that make the user experience that much better
