UX Designer

HNG Tech

As a UX Design Intern, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a fast-paced, startup-like environment where I contributed across the full spectrum of the design process. I designed user-centered interfaces for both mobile and web applications, ensuring they were intuitive and visually appealing. My work included creating interactive prototypes and micro-interactions in Figma to enhance the user experience and drive engagement.

I collaborated closely with product managers and developers, bridging the gap between design and development to ensure that our vision was effectively implemented. My role involved conducting user research, translating insights into wireframes, and iterating on designs based on feedback and testing.

This hands-on experience not only strengthened my technical skills in UI/UX design, prototyping, and interaction design but also honed my ability to thrive in an agile and collaborative environment. I'm excited to bring this expertise to new challenges in the UX/UI design field.

Working on a website project for a friend.

Initially recorded to make it a YT video, ended up making a time-lapse.
The design is coming together nicely.

Would you like to see a YouTube tutorial/breakdown on it?

Design Engineer | Certified Webflow Developer | Penultimate Computer Science Student @University of Chester

My first hackathon was a W!

Brought home the MLH prize for the best use of Snowflake API.

Lots of lessons learnt, worked with an incredible team.
I'm working a full-fledged article, coming soon.

I also documented the entire experience as well (YT video when?)

Excited to have worked with Yui Fan, Hector Pearson & Vasilii Zubarev.

More updates on my coding journey to come.

Stay updated y'all -  Abdussalam Popoola

Always love watching a design come to life!

Here's the process of how i created the clone shot with Affinity.

Snippets from hackathon project the team and I built in 24 hours.

This flow shows how a student can redeem credits for vouchers that work with small businesses in Manchester.

The idea is to help students save money from purchases they already make, like rent, lifestyle and feeding.

Paying rent earns you credits → enough credits earn you vouchers → vouchers earn you discounts → discounts help you save money.

I still have the pitch deck we used to pitch the idea.
I bet it's got potential for Housr - wink ;)

Built this with Hector Pearson, Vasilii Zubarev, Yui Fan & Abdussalam Popoola (me)

Yesterday was a blast!

My 2nd hackathon ever; hosted by Accelerate ME.
We worked on the Lovable challenge to bring an idea to life in 6hrs.

The team and I built a peer-to-peer mentoring platform for students to skill up fast and get hired. Heard we got 4th place btw.

Overall it was a great experience working with Ibad Ali, Surya Ramakrishnan & Dithik on this.

Oliver Ulvebne mentioned we should apply for Accelerate ME Cohort 12.
I'll do that :)

Also huge shout out to the winners & the new friends i made; Elizabeth Fenwick. Fidel Ehirim, Yousuf RizwanOsama Alnajar, Peace Kiariki, Rachael Lam and many more...

I'm excited to see us all blossom beyond our wildest dreams.
Cheers!

Hello Internet,

With Hector Pearson & Vasilii Zubarev

Won a prize
Made friends &
Learnt a lot that altered my perspective as a designer.

I wrote all about it here:

I hope you find it valuable.

My first hackathon in London!

I was in c++ class at 9am when I found out there was a hackathon hosted by Encode Club.

I immediately applied and booked a train to London.

Being a designer that aims to be as technical as possible, there’s so much I don’t know about Web3 and smart contracts.

So, there’s a lot of soaking up to do this weekend.

Here’s to learning something 🥂

I need to make friends and get going.
Stay tuned for hackathon updates.

Hello Internet,

I'm building an invoice creation software.
Here's a quick demo on how it works: (feedbacks are appreciated)

HACKATHON UPDATE: I couldn't join a cool team. 

So i'm going solo.

What if failure could mean something different on our journey to mastery?

Here are a few tips on optimising your LinkedIn profile for better opportunities.

My first long run since the Marathon in October.

I just built this UX/UI design case study you can chat with — in 1 hour! 🤯

It's a full-stack, AI-powered app that is fully integrated with OpenAI and I cannot believe how easy it was to make!

I've been building quite a few apps lately with different tools, but since Replit dropped their new AI Integrations feature, I'm finding it to be one of the easiest to build and deploy full-stack AI apps right now. 

As a non-coder, the one thing that always sucked up most of my time on these projects was the setup. Especially, if I wanted my apps to have AI capabilities and connect to models like OpenAI or Claude or Perplexity.

I would have to:

→ Create a developer account 
→ Connect and store API keys
→ Manage credits 
→ Read through documentation

But Replit just killed this setup step 🤯

You can ask it to do things like:

💡Make me an AI Chatbot
💡Create an image generator
💡Create an app that summarizes and analyzes UX interviews

Doing things this cleanly, just wasn’t possible before, and Replit has opened up the ability for anyone to make AI apps from scratch with no experience. 

👉🏽 Just the act of doing this can teach you so much about design and code.

As you watch Replit’s Autonomous Agent build things for you (and with you) you are witnessing a masterclass in the design and development lifecycle. Every interaction teaches you something — about UX, systems, logic, and constraints.

If you've been wanting to make your first SaaS app, learn how to be a more effective team mate or understand the intersection of design and code, I highly recommend trying this out. 

You can clone my latest projects and try them out yourself! | 

💬 Leave me a comment and I'll send you a link for $10 in Replit credits (hint: this app only cost me ~$7 to build 😉)

And let me know if you want me to drop the full video tutorial!!
