ABOUT SIYAN
I connect the dots.
Then make them work.
Product designer at Microsoft.
AI, security, and shared product experiences.
Make complexity usable, then make the solution reusable.
I’m a product designer at Microsoft with over eight years of experience across enterprise platforms and consumer products, including Electronic Arts.
I’m drawn to problems where the pieces exist but the connections are unclear: how security activity becomes cost, how teams interpret a shared view, or how a person moves from understanding a problem to taking action.
My work combines research, interaction design, and systems thinking. I use working prototypes and AI-assisted coding to inspect behavior, expose assumptions, and make cross-functional reviews concrete.

In Perception, I connected customer-facing security activity to cost assumptions and planning.

I translated feedback about inconsistent tool access into a clearer navigation model.

Shared FinOps patterns support a broader system while allowing product-specific units, rates, and styling.

Always looking a little closer.
Outside work, you’ll find me hiking, snowboarding, taking photographs, or experimenting in the kitchen. I enjoy activities that reward close observation, patience, and a willingness to adjust as I go.
