TRANSACTION INVESTIGATOR

Transforming Data
into Decision

Even after a redesign, only 30% of people were actually using it. I took over to completely fix the Mastercard TI experience and built the new TI Plus from scratch. By fixing the frustrating parts that everyone hated, I turned a clunky old tool into a powerful data system that pro users finally love to use.

THE PROBLEM

Why Only 30%?
Uncovering the Barriers to Adoption

The initial redesign optimized for a 'clean' look based on general UX standards, but overlooked the extreme efficiency actual users required. Without direct research, generous spacing was applied for readability, which inadvertently slowed down workflows by diluting the high-density data essential for high-speed analysis.

Legacy system (Old)

Outdated but Optimized for Actual Workflows

Initial Launch (Problematic New UI)

Modern Standards, yet Misaligned with User Needs

Three Core Barriers to Efficiency

Scattered input fields

Search Flow Inefficiency

Vertical scrolling for search parameters hindered rapid setup and blocked an at-a-glance view.

Fragmented Data View

Fragmented views forced frequent context switching, hindering efficient data comparison.

Inefficient Spatial Usage

Excessive spacing scattered data, forcing constant scrolling and blocking a quick overview.

KEY INSIGHT:

High-speed analysis requires a new balance between modern UI and legacy density.

THE STRATEGIC DESIGN APPROACH

Audit, Segmentation, Discovery

To transform a fragmented legacy system into a scalable intelligence platform, I established a three-step strategic approach focused on data integrity and user-centric discovery.

PHASE 1: THE FOUNDATION (TI BASIC)

Restoring Trust through Efficiency

For the core product, I re-engineered the foundational UI to handle inherently complex and high-volume datasets. By prioritizing functional density through a tightened grid architecture and an optimized table system, I restored the rapid scannability required for daily operations. This foundational success stabilized the user base and drove a 123% increase in user migration.

Tailored Viewing Experience

Enabled customizable settings for table layouts and font sizes, allowing users to optimize their workspace based on specific tasks.

PHASE 2: THE TI PLUS EXPERIENCE

TI PLUS: Advanced Search Flow
and Visual System

"Optimizing the search experience through a new data structure and dark-themed interface."


For TI Plus, I engineered a new data structure to handle complex search flows at scale. I focused on translating massive search results into intuitive data visualizations, all wrapped in a refined dark theme to maximize focus and minimize cognitive load for professional users.

ADVANCED SEARCH ARCHITECTURE

Integrating Premium Tiers

I designed a new data structure to simplify complex, bulk-level search flows. This strategic foundation allows professional users to filter massive datasets with precision and view results through intuitive data visualizations.
