Yusuf Yunus, software engineer who designs

Open to freelance work now, and full-time roles from 2027

Software engineer who designs.

I build AI, web and Web3 products, and I have designed and marketed for audiences of more than 200,000 people. Final-year Computer Science at IIUM, Kuala Lumpur.

Scroll to remove the noise

Most of the internet is noise.

Music you didn’t ask for. Posters that shout. Emails nobody opens. Bugs nobody can reproduce.

For the last few years I’ve been pulling the signal out of it.

Sometimes with a neural network. Sometimes with a grid, a typeface and a deadline.

Here’s what that looks like.

1 The work

Things I’ve built, designed and grown.

Engineering first, then the design and marketing work that taught me who software is for. Keep scrolling to turn the wall, and open any card for the full story.

The design work, all in one place.

Seventeen pages of posters, campaigns, brand systems and web design, from Eman Channel to iWealthX. They’ve been caught in orbit. Click the black hole to pull them out.

Graphic design portfolio. PDF, 17 pages, 9 MB.

That’s the work. Here’s the road that led to it.

In other people’s words

Yusuf would ship the feature, then come back an hour later with a cleaner layout for it. You rarely get both halves in one person.
Sara M.Product lead
His bug reports were the ones developers fixed first, because there was never anything left to ask.
Daniel R.Engineering manager
He took our posters, our emails and our schedule and made them look like they came from the same place.
Amina K.Marketing manager

Everything on this page also lives on a desk: cards you can drag, stack, open and close. It’s my resume as something to play with.
