Illia Usiuk · AI Specialist
About
I started in design — websites, mobile apps, digital products — and spent more than three years on freelance projects. Over time, I got pulled deeper into product logic, workflow thinking, and parts of implementation. That naturally led into AI automation: I now build systems on n8n, Make, and LLM APIs that remove manual work and give teams more time to focus on the product itself.
My edge is the combination of design thinking, product logic, and technical understanding — helping me build not just isolated automations, but working systems that fit how teams actually operate.
What I do
AI automations end to end: intake-to-output pipelines, agents that route and classify data, API integrations across your existing stack. I prototype fast — days, not weeks — then follow through to actual team adoption. The deliverable isn't a demo. It's a workflow your team uses.
What I optimize for
Why teams hire me
I bridge design and AI engineering
I ask "what problem does this solve?" before writing a single automation. Design background means UX and business logic are built in — not added at the end.
Fast from idea to working prototype
POC in days with no-code or API. Real feedback on real output before committing to a full build. Fast cycles beat long planning.
I follow through to adoption
A working demo nobody uses is not a win. I stay through documentation, handoff, and habit-building — until the automation is part of how your team works.
How I work
Process first, tools second
I map where the team loses time, where errors creep in, and which tasks are actually worth automating.
Prototype fast on real data
I build an MVP using no-code, APIs, or existing integrations and test the logic against real scenarios before committing to scale.
Build for adoption, not the demo
I think beyond the presentation — stability, ease of use, and how people will actually interact with it day to day.
Outcomes over features
I measure automation by what actually changed: time saved, errors removed, processes made faster or clearer.
Experience
Mar 2025 – Sep 2025
Built a health startup product from concept to investor-ready prototype. Owned research, product logic, UX flows, and interface design across 40+ screens, turning an abstract idea into a clear, testable MVP.
May 2024 – Jan 2025
Redesigned onboarding and core flows for a product where users struggled to reach value quickly. Simplified the user journey across 10+ screens and reduced time-to-first-value by 20% while keeping conversion stable.
May 2023 – May 2024
Designed and delivered a new e-commerce experience for a seasonal market launch. Took responsibility for UX structure, visual design, and execution coordination, helping the team launch on time despite a tight deadline.
