Jeffrey Croft

I’m a Senior Product Designer and UX Engineer in Seattle. I am currently looking for work. I’ve been making web apps, mobile apps, and websites for over 30 years! As a hybrid designer & developer, my primary skill sets are User Experience Design and Frontend Engineering.

Professional

2021-24 Most recently, I was the Founding UX Engineer at Meetingflow (previously PANDA AI), a sales-orieinted Seattle SASS startup focused on optimizing the customer meeting workflow with AI. I was responsible for the product UX and design, as well as much of the frontend product development. With a very small team and limited resources, I was able to help build a modern product covering automated recording and transcription of video meetings, generative AI-powered meeting summaries and insights, an AI copilot trained on a sales team’s meetings, collaborative note-taking, and more. Meetingflow was backed by Pioneer Square Labs, The Allen Institute for AI, and others. Unfortunately, Meetingflow is shutting down in 2024.

2012-21 For years, I did contract work for a variety of clients. I’ve worked with Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, and countless smaller startups and non-profits.

2010-12 Further back, I held Senior Product and UX Design roles at Seattle startups including Vantage Sports and Simply Measured.

2009-12 In the distant past, I co-founded, designed, built, and sold Lendle, a book lending app for Kindle users.

2007-11 Once upon a time, I published Pro CSS Techniques and Web Standards Creativity for Apress, and appeared at dozens of conferences in the U.S., Europe, and Australia.

2005-06 In a past life, I worked on the team that created Django, the popular web framework for Python.

Personal

I’m a father, a Buddhist, a yogi, a hobbyist musician and producer, and an NFL fanatic. I stand for love, tolerance, acceptance, and non-judgement.

I believe Black Lives Matter ✊🏾, Love is Love 🏳️‍🌈, and No Person is Illegal 🧡.
