Jose Rego — Portfolio

AI-Native Product Designer specializing in AI-native products.

Portrait of Jose Rego

Currently

Designing AI-native products with the Live Learn Innovate Foundation.

I bring together code, natural-language systems, UX, product strategy, and startup building to design AI-native products that are usable, testable, and built with integrity.

Before today's AI build tools existed, I was already working at the intersection of software, language, users, and systems. I started as a developer, spent years building voice and natural-language applications, led teams designing complex enterprise platforms, and now build AI-native products directly in code.

Proof — across product, UX, technology, and AI-native systems

Career convergence

A career built for this AI-native moment.

AI is collapsing the distance between idea, interface, logic, data, and implementation. My advantage is that I have worked across each of those layers for decades.

Where it converges

The layers behind

The layers behind my AI-native work.

This isn't a sudden pivot. It's the result of career experience, education, technical training, design leadership, and startup building converging — every layer maps to a present-day AI-native capability.

Why this matters now

AI-assisted building compresses roles that used to be separate.

Product thinking, design logic, technical constraints, user intent, data structures, and implementation quality now collide earlier in the process. That creates risk when people can generate interfaces or code without understanding the system they're shaping.

My advantage is that I've lived across those layers. I can use AI tools quickly — and I know how to challenge, structure, guide, and correct them.

Working with teams

How I work with technical teams and clients.

The bridge between design intent and shippable product — built across discovery, prototyping, engineering collaboration, and delivery.

Selected work

Across AI-native products, enterprise platforms, mobile apps, voice interfaces, and data systems.

From regulated financial platforms to AI-native legal, health, and home-assistant products — work focused on turning complex workflows into usable, testable, shippable systems. Each card highlights the layers from my career that made it possible.
