In 2019, I joined Alvalabs, an early-stage startup, as the 11th team member and the second designer. I came on board at the start of the platform's active phase, as it began providing services to real clients.

During my time at alvalabs, I designed and developed core product experiences across candidate assessments, result visualization, and comparison tools to improve hiring decision workflows. I’ve worked closely with cross-functional teams — including developers, sells's team, support team, stakeholders — participating in design refinements, dev-ready handoffs, and day-to-day collaboration through slack and in person, I contributed to turning early ideas into scalable product experiences.

By the time I left, Alvalabs had secured investments, expanded its client base, and integrated with major clients like TeamTailor. Today, it stands as a robust service offering a wide range of tools for candidate assessment and I’m proud to have been part of laying its foundation.
