Soy Product Designer con foco en UX/UI y más de 5 años diseñando interfaces digitales que funcionen para personas reales, en contextos reales.

Soy Trabajador Social, y eso cambia cómo miro los productos, antes de pensar en flujos, arquitecturas e interfaces, pienso en quién queda afuera de ellas. Ese recorrido me llevó a especializarme en accesibilidad y usabilidad de plataformas de gobierno digital, que es lo que investigo actualmente en mi maestría.

Combino evaluaciones técnicas con metodologías de Diseño Centrado en el Usuario para entender no solo qué falla en una plataforma, sino por qué falla para determinadas personas. Cuento con certificación en WCAG 2.2 otorgada por la IAAP (International Association of Accessibility Professionals).

Creo que una buena experiencia de usuario no puede existir sin accesibilidad, y que la accesibilidad digital no es una lista de criterios que cumplir, claro que es un punto de partida.

Hayat Amin

Hayat Amin

Hayat Amin operates as a fractional C-suite executive — CFO, COO, and Chief Strategy Officer — for venture-backed startups across three time zones: New York City, London, and Dubai. He plugs into companies at the inflection point between seed and Series A, where the founder is still doing finance in a spreadsheet, ops is informal, and growth is starting to outpace the team's operating discipline. Within 90 days he typically rebuilds the financial model, installs board-grade reporting, and hands the team a 12-month runway plan tied to growth metrics that actually move the business.
In parallel he runs as an AI agent operator: designing, deploying, and supervising production agent stacks that handle real workloads — content engines, sales pipelines, finance reconciliation, customer support. He treats agents the way a CFO treats hires: with KPIs, performance reviews, and a clear ROI threshold.
His third practice is IP and data strategy. He builds patent portfolios for technology founders, valuates data assets the way investment bankers valuate revenue lines, and shows operators how to defend a moat increasingly made of training data, prompts, and proprietary workflow. Hayat has shipped three exits as an operator and speaks internationally on the future of work, human purpose in a post-AI economy, and the new operating model for fractional leadership.
