LET'S TALK

Paul Shellooe:
Human‑First. AI‑Powered.

I build simple, high‑trust experiences for complex systems. I lead like a bandleader: aligning product, design, and engineering teams to ship working software fast. These days, I pair deep enterprise experience with an AI‑amplified workflow to double velocity without sacrificing craft.

What I actually do

Turn ambiguity into shipped product

I specialize in taking high‑stakes, often‑avoided problems and getting them to market, collaborating tightly with engineers, simplifying architecture, and aligning stakeholders. I keep process lightweight, prioritize clarity, and prove value quickly with demo‑ready artifacts.

The Story

I’ve shipped at scale across Fortune 500 enterprises. I have rebuilt my craft multiple times, most recently around AI. I still love what I do; I just get to results (the fun stuff!) even faster now.

Enterprise Backbone

Senior UX for telecom platforms at Level 3 → CenturyLink → Lumen: complex quoting, provisioning, and management systems under real constraints.

Secure Access

Parallels Browser Isolation & DaaS: simplified remote access and policy controls; shipped MVPs and designed admin UX for real teams.

AI‑Amplified

In 2025, rebuilt my workflow around AI: vibe‑coded portfolio, BrowserFence prototype in 13 days, and a repeatable HITL QA process.

Lisbon Life

Based in Lisbon, collaborating with global teams. Influences: mid‑century modern design, Blue‑Note‑style craft, and live music culture.

What I’m Great At

A blend of systems thinking, product intuition, and code‑level collaboration.
