Xata: serverless database

Serverless data product—product design, design system, and frontend implementation.

XataXata for Vercel

At Xata I worked on a serverless Postgres platform: schema and data UI, developer onboarding, and a cohesive visual language across marketing and product.

I partnered on the design system, shipped frontend features, and helped connect brand and product so the “new database experience” felt credible to builders.

Product work included end-to-end flows such as onboarding, branching, CSV import—column mapping and types, preview and limits, success and partial-failure states with actionable errors—and table tooling such as export and bulk actions in the data grid.
