Post-acquisition Product Integration
Integrating two products without losing what made either one valuable
Overview
I led the product design integration between Qwak and JFrog, translating ML workflows into a larger DevSecOps platform, aligning design systems, and consolidating overlapping experiences into a cohesive product.
Contributions
Led the product UX strategy for integrating Qwak into JFrog.
Translated ML workflows into JFrog’s product architecture and navigation.
Consolidated overlapping experiences instead of duplicating functionality.
Migrated Qwak to JFrog’s design system before the technical integration.
Preserved familiar workflows throughout the transition.
Outcome
Qwak’s ML capabilities became part of JFrog without disrupting existing users. The platform gained integrated ML functionality while retaining the workflows customers already knew.
Takeaway
The hardest part of integration isn’t merging products—it’s deciding what shouldn’t change.
