Qualcomm
Enterprise Platforms & Developer Ecosystem | Senior Staff Product Designer
Qualcomm
I led UX strategy and design for Qualcomm’s enterprise SaaS and developer platforms, supporting over 3 billion connected devices globally. My work spanned system design, hardware software integration, and complex workflow optimization across fleet management tools, internal platforms, and developer facing experiences.
Problem
Qualcomm’s internal platforms and developer tools were fragmented and difficult to navigate, resulting in inefficient workflows, low engagement, and inconsistent design experiences across critical touch points.
Solution
I redefined the end to end developer journey and streamlined internal platforms by introducing reusable design patterns, responsive interfaces, and intuitive navigation, enabling teams to scale operations and deliver a more cohesive, efficient experience for both developers and enterprise users.
Key Outcomes
- 30% reduction in prototyping cycles through reusable components and improved design to dev handoff
- 40% increase in developer engagement (time on site, return visits) following platform redesign
- 25% reduction in bounce rate driven by simplified navigation and improved information architecture
- 50% faster time to first API call, accelerating developer onboarding and boosting confidence
- 30% lift in satisfaction scores, enabled by clearer UI and embedded contextual help
- Led and mentored a cross functional team of 5, fostering a strong UX culture across Agile squads
Challenges
- Disconnected tools and poor information architecture created confusion and reduced user engagement
- Lack of differentiated journeys for new vs. experienced developers hindered onboarding and adoption
- Fragmented documentation and inconsistent UI introduced friction, leading to task abandonment and developer drop off
Approach
- Streamlined IA & Navigation: Redesigned content structure with clear entry points to reduce cognitive load and guide users efficiently
- Onboarding & Toolkits: Introduced guided workflows and curated toolkits to accelerate time to value for new developers
- Unified Dashboard: Consolidated key tools (including API playgrounds) into a single, responsive interface to centralize access
- Developer-Centric Design: Prioritized clarity, accessibility, and workflow continuity to support deep engagement across varied user needs
Cross Functional Execution
- Engineering Partnership: Scaled system components and enabled deep platform integrations through close technical collaboration
- Cross-Team Alignment: Worked with product, documentation, and marketing to unify user journeys and ensure consistent messaging
- Executive Influence: Presented strategy and outcomes to senior leadership, building cross org alignment and securing delivery support
Impact
This redesign elevated Qualcomm’s Developer Network into a world class, frictionless platform, boosting usability, driving sustained engagement, and accelerating innovation across the developer ecosystem. It also reinforced the strategic value of UX in enterprise and technical product environments.
