more about myself

Good design is obvious.
Great design is transparent.

Joe Sparano

I’m a Senior Staff UX Designer with 16 years of experience working on complex, enterprise software across endpoint management, data infrastructure, cyber security and healthcare.

My work focuses on making large, technical systems easier to understand and operate - where clarity, reliability, and efficiency matter, and visual design supports, rather than competes with function.

At N-able, I lead UX for Unified Endpoint Management (UEM), shaping how administrators manage devices, policies, and security at scale. I reduce complexity in enterprise systems, turning technical capabilities into clear, consistent workflows that teams can use efficiently and reliably.

Previously, I held Staff-level UX at Confluent and RSA Security, defining the Kafka Connect experience on Confluent Cloud and shaping NetWitness XDR analyst and admin workflows.
