UX Strategy & Design for the Enterprise, Complex Systems, and Mobile in Lean/Agile Teams
This is Carl Seglem’s UX strategy & design portfolio. I’ve included highlights of my work below, which link to more detailed project pages. I’ve also organized all my portfolio projects by category in the page menu.
This project highlights work going from early sketches through product release.

Over more than a decade of UX design work, I’ve
- designed an IT systems management application for a venture-funded startup from sketches to working software with industry recognition in eight months,
- designed a big data analytics development system (IDE) and big data system explorer,
- worked on the rethinking and redesign of a widely-deployed enterprise IT systems management application, then, as an agile team member, worked to incrementally incorporate improvements to the software, all of this resulting in five issued patents on which I’m a co-inventor,
- designed an iPad application to design quilts,
among many other projects listed below and on pages for big data, enterprise and complex systems work, lean and agile work, and mobile.

Big Data, Enterprise, and Complex Systems
Most of my professional design work has been in enterprise systems dealing with large amounts of data in complex domains. I’ve enjoyed the challenges these systems pose and the satisfaction of seeing the systems developed and deployed to make users’ work lives better.

And More Enterprise Work
- Agile Application Evolution Based on Redesign: After the Wily Technology Introscope redesign (see above), I worked with developers, testers, product managers, and writers on the SCRUM team that created subsequent versions of the existing software.
- Systems Management App Redesign Summary and Lessons: In which I reflect on the Wily Technology Introscope redesign efforts.
- Targeting Large Improvement with Small Changes: Before the large Introscope redesign project, a team of two developers and I designed and proposed low-effort and low-risk ways to improve Introscope to reduce the effort to deploy in a large environment.
- Worldwide Enterprise Software Sales, Training and Support: Before joining the Wily Technology Introscope product team, I worked in many other capacities there.
- Mutual Fund Accounting System Testing, Deployment, and Support: At Scudder (now a division of Deutche Asset Management), I worked on the testing, deployment and support of a mutual fund security pricing system.

Lean Startup/Lean UX
I find much of value in lean startup, lean UX and agile software development approaches. In some cases, I was specifically led or coached in the techniques (e.g., Lean Startup Weekend events, working on an agile development team with a Scrum Master). In other cases, colleagues and I did things that I only later found out could be called “lean”. Now, after learning and practicing, I find I can lead colleagues in many of these methods. In addition to the three listed below, these projects listed above involved significant lean methods:
- New Systems Management App for a Startup
- Fast Iterations for Startup’s New Systems Management App
- Agile Application Evolution Based on Redesign
- Targeting Large Improvement with Small Changes
- iPad Quilt Design App
