About Paulo Coelho

I\'m a full-stack product designer who builds the future of human-computer interaction. With 10+ years transforming technical constraints into competitive advantages, I specialize in 0-to-1 products at the intersection of AI, hardware, and spatial computing.Currently revolutionizing Samsung\'s smart glasses development by creating Lynx—an AI orchestration platform that reduced prototype development from 3-6 months to 1-2 weeks. This real-time infrastructure powers our entire smart glasses ecosystem and represents the first implementation of Model Context Protocol (MCP) at Samsung.What sets me apart:* I build infrastructure that multiplies team productivity—enabling designers to create functional prototypes without engineering dependencies* I speak fluently to designers, engineers, and executives—regularly presenting to C-suite on how design drives business value* I see 2-3 years ahead and build for it today—from neural interfaces at Meta to AI orchestration at SamsungTrack record of products used by millions:* Led design for Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses (launched Sept 2025) through Concept Commit* Brought AR to Google Maps (2019) with daily active users in the millions* Pioneered neural interface design that shipped with Meta Neural BandI thrive in high-complexity environments where technical excellence meets user experience. Whether it\'s creating gesture vocabularies for EMG wristbands, architecting multi-device orchestration systems, or advocating for AI adoption at the executive level—I turn ambitious visions into deployed reality.Outside of work: Father, husband, OneWheel enthusiast, maker, photographer, explorer.
