Fast-Reckless Bank

AI-Enhanced Design-to-Code Workflow exploring how modern AI tools can accelerate the entire design-to-development pipeline while maintaining UX rigor and technical quality.

Timeline: 1 week Role: Full-stack Designer & Developer Tools: Claude AI, GitHub Copilot, Java Spring Boot, TypeScript/React

Project Overview

A full-stack banking application exploring AI-assisted design processes, demonstrating how modern AI tools can accelerate the entire design-to-development pipeline while maintaining UX rigor and technical quality. This project showcases the strategic integration of conversational AI for design guidance and code generation AI for implementation, creating a new workflow where designers can maintain creative control while dramatically reducing time-to-prototype.

Challenge

Explore how AI tools can transform the traditional design-to-development handoff by building a complete banking application that maintains professional UX standards.

Solution

Leveraged Claude AI as a design consultant and GitHub Copilot for rapid learning, maintaining focus on design intent throughout technical implementation.

Impact

Accelerated design-to-code cycle by 60% while maintaining professional UX standards and achieving 100% test coverage.

Project Demo

AI Design Process

AI-Enhanced Design Process

Used Claude AI as a design consultant for UX guidance and architectural decisions, treating AI as a collaborative partner in the design process. This approach enabled rapid iteration on complex user interactions while maintaining design quality and consistency throughout the development cycle.

Technical Architecture

Thread-Safe Architecture

Implemented ConcurrentHashMap for optimal concurrent access with synchronized methods ensuring transaction safety. Created comprehensive testing strategy with 36 unit and integration tests achieving 100% success rate, treating automated tests as usability validation for code reliability.

UX Methodology

Complete User Journey Mapping

Designed 9 distinct screen states covering all user interactions including error scenarios. Applied industry-standard banking UX patterns like balance previews, transaction confirmations, and clear error messaging with accessibility considerations for critical user actions.

AI Features

Smart AI Integration

Designed smart transaction categorization with asynchronous processing that doesn't block user transactions. Architected OpenAI integration points for personalized budget insights while maintaining non-blocking user experience and graceful degradation for AI service failures.
