Can you take my job?

the part where you try to replace me

Six questions about AI and how people actually work with it. Ask a model if you want, I'd do the same. Get all six and you can have my job.

INTERVIEW · 6 QUESTIONS

Six questions out of twenty, picked at random. No sign-up, no leaderboard, no email to hand over, so nobody has to know how this went. Retry and you get six you haven't seen.

Who I am

the part where I explain myself

I care about building digital products that work for the people using them, because a digital product should simplify life, not complicate it. In my work I tend to look for clarity, simplicity, and a direct way of collaborating - without turning everything into a heavy process.

The approach stays practical: modern technologies, AI when it is genuinely useful, and attention to what actually matters now without wasting time on premature complexity. The goal is to keep quality, presence, and clear communication together from the start.

Tailored solutions

Every project starts from goals, timing, and real context, so the solution stays connected to the business behind it.

Speed with judgment

The aim is to make the important decisions quickly, without filling the process with unnecessary steps.

Useful technology

Modern tools are chosen when they simplify the work and make the product stronger over time.

Direct communication

The exchange stays close and structured, with fewer filters and more continuity throughout the project.

Partners & Collaborations

Skills / Tools

tools I actually open every week

I also think about your product

where the whiteboard gets messy

I don't stop at code that works: the product needs to deliver results. That means looking at how users move through it, which metrics matter, and where value is lost along the way.

Every decision - from the text on a button to the structure of a flow - affects how the product performs and how people perceive it.

Conversion-driven UX

Every flow is designed to reduce friction and lead the user toward action: clear calls to action, obstacle-free paths, and micro-interactions that build trust.

SaaS and product mindset

I know the patterns that work: onboarding that activates, pricing that converts, retention that keeps users coming back. We start from what has already worked.

Metrics and continuous improvement

Where it makes sense, the right measurements are in place to understand what actually works - and iterate on real data instead of assumptions.

Intentional design

The interface is not decoration: every element communicates something, builds credibility, and makes the product enjoyable and consistent to use.
