Romain Rousseau
Design Engineer for data-dense applications and design systems
I enjoy solving complex information problems in constrained spaces, building React interfaces and component libraries for professional tools.
I design and engineer products from concept to code, specializing in SaaS applications where data complexity meets space constraints. With a background in software engineering and Human-Machine Interactions, I work at the intersection of interaction design, frontend development (React/React Native) and design systems.
