Developer Experience

Tanzu Application Platform’s Developer Experience initiative aimed to equip developers with clear, actionable insights across the entire path from code to production. I redesigned key surfaces, such as the workloads landing page, vulnerability timeline, deployment graph, and security views, so developers could quickly assess build health, trace failures, and proactively address vulnerabilities before reaching production.

By increasing visibility into build pipelines and integrating critical security signals early in the process, we helped developers ship code faster, with greater confidence and less daily friction.

The Problem

Current Designs

How I Approached the Problem

My goal was to influence Product Management to invest in generative research by showing that our current direction was based solely on one customer’s input and lacked broader validation. To build a compelling case:

Meet The User

Empathy Mapping Sessions

Journey Mapping

What did we learn?

Lack of visibility into multiple builds and their deployment status
No insight into post-production vulnerabilities
Difficulty tracking performance metrics like Lead Time for Change and Deployment Frequency

Validating Patterns
