👋 Hi, Im Nuno

Builder & Systems Thinker Navigating Complexity at Scale

An Illustration that looks like me in the style of Notion's illustrations.

Who I Am

I am a design and product leader focused on building tools that make complex systems clear, usable, and genuinely helpful to the people who depend on them. My work has spanned startups and big banks, from scrappy 0 to 1 launches to large scale platforms that manage billions in loans, and today I help lead JPMorgan Chase’s commercial real estate lending platform. Underneath all of that is a simple belief: design is product and product is strategy, which means the small details only matter if they support a coherent, trusted system. In the end, I want to ship work that people adopt, rely on, and are genuinely glad to use.

Product Philosophy

Great products start by being genuinely useful, not just clever or visionary. I care about designing tools that earn trust from the very first release, grounded in real needs and built with a clear path to grow, because MVPs should be launch pads, not throwaways. My approach is to move between the details and the whole system, working closely with engineers and stakeholders so the solution hangs together technically, operationally, and experientially. For me, design is product and product is strategy: design shapes behavior and trust, while product ties vision to execution and real outcomes. Check out my full philosophy doc → here.

Experience & Case Studies

Product Design Lead / Product Manager

JP Morgan Chase

Jersey City, New Jersey

11/2022 - Present

I lead product strategy and design for JPMorgan Chase’s commercial real estate lending and portfolio platforms, from early 0 to 1 builds through to enterprise wide rollouts. I moved from design into product to stay close to execution and keep a clear throughline between vision, build, and adoption. My work spans core platform infrastructure, internal sales tools, and lead generation systems, all focused on making complex financial workflows simpler and more usable for internal teams.

→ Discovery Platform Led design and product launch for a new centralized system replacing four legacy apps, now the internal source of truth for CTL’s $140B+ loan portfolio.
→ QuickSizer Designed and built a scenario modeling tool for bankers to instantly estimate refinance and purchase loans. Reduced quote time from days to minutes and drove revenue during rate shifts.
→ CRE Lead Enablement Built a dynamic iframe-to-dashboard lead system that cut lead routing time from 7+ days to <1. Supported over $120M in originated loans across 40+ landing pages.
→ Agency Reporting Suite Shipped bulk reporting capabilities for GSE deal prep, enabling a $400M+ Fannie Mae sale. Turned hours of manual work into minutes with reusable logic and UI.

Product Designer

FIA Tech

New York City, New York

7/2021 - 11/2022

Sole product designer at a fintech startup modernizing post-trade infrastructure across the global derivatives market. I owned design across multiple products but spent the bulk of my time building the central dashboard of the Trade Data Network, a complex data product used by major financial institutions (including JPMorgan Chase) to investigate and monitor trade activity.

Highlight reel:

→ Trade Data Network Dashboard – Designed the core UI for FIA Tech’s new flagship product. Delivered a flexible dashboard that broke down trades by counterparty, supported late trade detection, and enabled deep drilldowns—all with filters, save/share views, and enterprise-ready performance.
Ran user research and led client demos, helping secure $40M+ in funding during key partnership cycles.
Balanced speed with complexity, shipping 0→1 app while navigating technical debt, and domain-specific nuance in one of the most opaque corners of finance.
