I’m Shojol Islam
a product designer + engineer, based in Lisbon.
Currently, I’m designing and building Operion, a deal OS for commercial property finance.
I care about crafting engaging products that create value, from discovery to finish.
At the start of 2026, I transitioned into a design engineer role at Operion, where I now build all of the front end and the design system alongside designing it.
Previously, product design lead at Altcoinist, a Telegram trading bot that gets traders better fills on every trade. I designed the platform from ground zero, led the engineering team that built the bot, and shipped rapid iterations from early-user feedback.
Product designer at Bounce, the world’s #1 luggage storage network, with 32,000+ locations in 4,000+ cities. As the first employee, I designed the platform from the ground up, then focused on the search and booking experience, optimised for conversion, and the post-booking experience.
Product designer at SwagUp, a platform to design, pack, and ship custom swag worldwide. I designed the core dashboard, multi-shipment, swag redemption, and the warehouse management app.
Over the past decade, I’ve designed hundreds of products for startups and agencies around the world.
