Xata

Building Xata’s early product interface.

Founding Product Engineer · Jun 2021–Jul 2023

Complete Xata table workspace with database navigation, branch selection, filters, sorting, columns and sample conversation records. — A spreadsheet-style view makes records and database controls easy to find.

My contribution

I joined Xata as its first engineering hire and led the design and frontend implementation of its early product interface.

The challenge was to make database work approachable without hiding the developer tools. The interface connects a spreadsheet-style workspace with application-code examples and search controls.

Complete Xata search workspace with a butterfly query, column boost controls, matching records and relevance scores. — Tune search relevance and inspect the ranked results in the same view.
