About Xiaoye Lin

I've spent the past decade working on products where complexity is unavoidable—from enterprise security and hiring systems to a marketplace connecting millions of sellers and creators.

I tend to work best in ambiguous spaces: mapping systems, finding the simplest product model underneath them, and staying close enough to execution to make sure the details hold together.

More recently, AI and code have changed how I work. I'm moving beyond static design deliverables into prototypes and production, shortening the distance between an idea and something people can actually use.
