Mohin Uddin, Product Design Engineer and Head of Design at AppsCode: I design clear interfaces for complex software.
Head of Design at AppsCode (opens in a new tab). For seven years I’ve taken the consoles teams use to run databases on Kubernetes from idea to Figma to Vue code, designing every screen and building it myself.

Seven years of making infrastructure feel simple.
I’m AppsCode’s only designer. These are the stories I’d show first: each starts with a real problem and ends with what changed.

- AppsCode UI modernization7 repos moved off Bulma and SCSS in one month, with no change in behaviour for users.

How I work
From the first interview to the shipped code.
Every skill here comes from the consoles and products on this page: one person, research to release.
Research & analysis
Interviews, support questions and UX audits before any screen.
Information architecture
Thousands of Kubernetes objects, organised around the job.
Design systems
Tokens to components, one source for five consoles.
Every state designed
Empty, loading and no-access screens that say what to do next.
Typography & colour
Calm type and colour that only means something.
Figma to Vue
I write the components I design, so nothing gets lost.
Accessibility
WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard paths and checked contrast.
Ship & iterate
From idea to launch on my own products, end to end.
Products · My own
Things I design, build and ship myself.
Outside my day job I take products from idea to launch on my own: web apps, desktop software and hardware. I design them, write the code and keep them running.

About
A designer who ships the code too.
Mohin UddinProduct Designer & Design EngineerI’ve been designing for 9+ years, and for the last seven I’ve made Kubernetes and database tools feel simple at AppsCode.
I like problems with lots of data, expert users and real consequences. I sketch them in Figma, then build them myself, so what ships is what was designed.

What the people I worked with say.
My manager and engineers from AppsCode, in their own words.
Mohin is not only a talented UI/UX engineer, but also a team player and communicator. He used various tools and methods to conduct user research, create wireframes and prototypes, test usability, and implement feedback.
“What sets Mohin apart is not just his design skills, but his product thinking. He carefully considers the implementation-effort vs. impact ratio, and always aims to deliver work that’s both beautiful and meaningful.”
“What sets Mohin apart is not just his design prowess, but also his proficiency in translating those designs seamlessly into code.”
