Case Study 01 · Social CommerceFeatured

Youth Safety on Social Commerce Platforms

How can social-commerce features and age-safety controls work together more effectively to reduce youth exposure to age-restricted products?
Youth SafetyPlatform IntegrityFTC Section 5EU DSAUK Online Safety Act
6Stages in the documented pathway—from discovery to an off-platform purchase opportunity
6Product-control opportunities across discovery, amplification, interaction, notifications, seller access, and repeat-account controls
DocumentedThrough dated observations of publicly accessible platform features
May 2025Public-interface observation and analysis period

Key insight

Youth safety can depend on how multiple product features work together across discovery, interaction, notifications, seller access, and repeat-account behavior. The study identifies opportunities for coordinated product, policy, engineering, operations, and legal improvements.

What the study includes

  • Six-stage current-state and proposed-state journey analysis
  • Three youth-risk archetypes
  • Comparative interface concepts and product-control wireframes
  • Carefully scoped regulatory and policy relevance
  • Privacy, fairness, false-positive, and evasion considerations
  • Phased implementation framework with validation criteria

Case Study 02 · FintechProduct Security

Fintech Onboarding and Account-Takeover Prevention

How can a financial platform strengthen onboarding and account security when credentials or account activity present elevated risk?
Account SecurityNIST GuidanceGLBA SafeguardsFTC Safeguards RuleFraud Prevention
5Layered control families spanning registration, authentication, sessions, transactions, and recovery
LayeredNo single breach check, password rule, or authentication method eliminates account-takeover risk
Risk-basedSecurity friction increases when a login, recovery attempt, account, or transaction presents greater risk
MeasurableControls are paired with security, usability, operational, and privacy validation criteria

Key insight

A breached email address alone does not establish current credential risk. A layered approach can combine compromised-password screening, proportionate authentication, session signals, transaction safeguards, and secure recovery.

What the study includes

  • Five-layer account-security and control model
  • Three onboarding-risk archetypes
  • Current-state and improved-state journey maps
  • Password, passkey, MFA, session, and transaction concepts
  • Recovery, accessibility, privacy, and false-positive considerations
  • Phased implementation and validation framework

How I Work

Research rigor.
Builder urgency.

I work where product, policy, users, and operations intersect. I organize research and observations, identify the factors shaping an outcome, and translate the analysis into practical product recommendations.

Understand the underlying system

Identify how product, policy, incentives, and workflows interact to shape the user experience.

Connect multiple viewpoints

Balance user safety, business constraints, regulatory expectations, and technical feasibility.

Turn research into decisions

Turn observations, research, and requirements into clear priorities and decision-ready recommendations.

Turn insight into product

Prototype workflows, tools, and product changes so recommendations can be tested in practice.

Products Built

Research that became working software.

These products demonstrate product judgment, rapid learning, workflow design, AI integration, and execution from concept through deployment.

This site only shows part of the work. I have additional research, prototypes, product ideas, and findings that I’d be glad to discuss in more depth.

Most of what I build starts with something worth understanding better: a workflow that could be simpler, a safety question that needs more attention, a compliance challenge, or an idea worth testing. I research the problem first, then use what I learn to shape the product.

I also have prototypes and early concepts that are not public yet. I am happy to talk through why I started them, what I learned, where they could go next, and where the right team could help take them further.

If your team is working on safer products, stronger compliance, better user experiences, or responsible growth, I would be glad to compare notes.
