Founding Product Designer 2026–nowOpen-source AI coding agent used by 2M+ developers. Designing how humans and AI build software together.
Twelve years designing things people use and building things people choose to keep. My work spans product design and frontend engineering, mostly in B2B and developer tools, across interfaces, state, edge cases, design systems, and shipped code.
I've done this at Sequoia-backed startups and at a few that didn't make it. I've led teams, and I've been the entire team.
Outside software, I design physical products through , where the constraints shift to materials, tolerances, and production runs. Different mediums, same brain.

“He bridges design and engineering in a way that's genuinely rare. He ships, he writes code, full ownership from concept through production.”
“He built the design system, shipped the product, and still found time to push for things nobody asked for but everyone needed.”
“Ivan deeply understood our mission and translated it into a stronger product. His influence has shaped not only our platform but also my own work.”
