Michael Fernandes
A designer who became an engineer, mostly so the designs would survive the trip.
01 — What I do
Three things I do.
The stuff I'm good at and genuinely like doing.
Data visualization
Making sense of scientific, computational, and data-heavy apps — turning dense data into something you can actually read.
Design engineering
Taking experiences end to end — from the first sketch to shipped code — with usability driving every call.
Research & prototyping
Learning from real people, then prototyping fast — testing ideas in days, not months.
02 — Selected work
A couple of public-facing data projects I'm proud of.
Project · 01
Uncertainty you can act on
How a transit app should show what it doesn't know — and a 408-person study showing the right display makes better decisions.

A forecast you could plan around
One of the first public forecasts of when COVID-19 would peak — and whether hospitals would have the room to meet it.
