Leigh Arriane Buendia
I'm Leigh. I work at the intersection of people and machines, designing intelligent systems that understand and support the humans using them.

I design things and then build them too. I take ideas from user research all the way to working code, across HCI, machine learning, and hardware.

I earned my CS degree from De La Salle University - Manila, and I'm currently studying Experience Design at Dallas College.

Looking for UX / Product Design roles starting June 2026.

If you're building something interesting, let's talk.
