Design Engineer & Creative Developer
I build front-end systems for products where correctness, trust, and clarity matter. Specializing in AI-native workflows and data-heavy applications.
👋 Hello, I'm Jordan Bartak
I take ambiguous problems, turn them into clean interfaces and durable architecture, and ship UI that makes complex systems feel obvious. I focus on the details that most teams underestimate: permissions, edge cases, auditability, performance, reliability, and the moments where users lose confidence if the product hesitates.
My background blends hands-on engineering with leadership. I've led and mentored teams, but I stay close to the work when it matters most, particularly around foundational UI architecture, design systems, and high-leverage product surfaces.
See my workProducts where correctness, trust, and clarity define success.
AI-Driven FinTech / 2024
AI-driven tax technology platform for professional accountants. Led front-end architecture for high-trust, data-heavy workflows. Converted AI prototypes into durable, production-ready UI systems with a focus on correctness and auditability.
Investment Platform / 2024
Investment platform built from concept to production in 7 months. Owned technical decision-making across product, platform, and infrastructure. Designed secure transaction flows, portfolio management, and investor dashboards.
Cross-Platform CRM / 2022
Cross-platform CRM system for iOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Delivered Apple-quality UI using Swift, UIKit, and Core Animation. Full-stack ownership including backend systems with PHP, Redis, and MySQL.
Where design sensibility meets engineering discipline.
Converting AI prototypes into durable, production-ready interfaces. Experienced with Anthropic Claude, ChatGPT, and LLM workflows to increase delivery speed while maintaining quality. Building the UI layer for AI-driven products where users need to trust the output.
Creating scalable component libraries that improve consistency and long-term velocity across products. Evolving front-end design systems from initial architecture through production scale.
TypeScript, React, and Next.js as the foundation for B2B SaaS and trust-critical applications. Owned production front-end architecture for AI-driven platforms. Turning ambiguous problems into clean interfaces and durable architecture.
Focusing on the moments where users lose confidence if the product hesitates or behaves unexpectedly. Details most teams underestimate: permissions, edge cases, reliability, and the subtle signals that build or break user trust.
Building high-trust interfaces for complex data in FinTech and B2B SaaS. Focused on permissions, edge cases, auditability, and performance. Shipping workflows used by professional accountants where correctness isn't optional.
Built and scaled products across iOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Shipped polished native experiences using Swift, UIKit, Core Animation, MapKit, and Realm.
