UI Design
I work with KX Technologies real-time (kdb) database solution, as used by major financial insitutions across the world. I train kdb data engineers in KX Dashboards, and design dashboards for a broad range of industries.
I designed for KX Technologies product line using KX Dashboards, with an initial focus on KX Survelliance before moving to KX Sensors.
