Shaping the Product roadmap by building AI-driven MVP in 3 days with Claude Code

Macabacus is a productivity tool for finance and banking.

Brand Kit is a self-serve tool that lets Investment Bankers define their organization's brand assets letting them generate on-brand presentations in seconds.

I built a working MVP in 3 days with Claude, which got the feature added to the product roadmap, then I moved it through design and development using Claude Code and Figma.

April — June 2026

/ my role

I turned an open suggestion from our Head of Product into a working Brand Kit MVP in 3 days, building it directly in Claude, which led to the feature being added to the product team's roadmap.

I owned the V1 scope moving the work through prototyping, Figma design, and development, using Claude Code with a Figma MCP connector while collaborating closely with the PM and Chief Product Officer on design direction and with engineering on implementation.

Instead of mocking screens in Figma, I built a working tool the team could actually click

Turning MVP into MLP — Minimal Lovable Product

After putting this project on a roadmap I took the reins on V1, turning the rough MVP into something people would actually enjoy using.

Now I work closely with the PM and Engineering team on visual direction and implementation.
