Low Code Platform Redesign
Temenos's low-code platform had strong technical depth, but the developer and designer experience had not kept pace. I led a full redesign of the end-to-end tooling, from component authoring to cross-platform preview, making it practical for financial institutions to build and ship production-grade applications without writing code from scratch.
This project centred around a robust low-code front-end development framework that empowers financial institutions to focus their resources on crafting exceptional user experiences for their clientele, rather than boilerplate infrastructure.
Developers can confidently deploy applications across smartphones, tablets, desktops, and wearables, regardless of operating system, while ensuring enterprise-grade security. My role spanned the entire product design cycle, from research and personas through interaction design, visual design, and usability testing.
- Project-level theming within the platform
- Application of multiple styles to a single widget
- Accessibility checks for i18n internationalisation (A11Y ARIA)
- Visual modification and customisation of the platform
- Creation of micro apps, hosting multiple mini apps within one project
- Application of multiple themes across micro apps in a single platform
- Identification and differentiation between parent and child apps
- Child app creation, interconnected and dependent on each other and the parent
- Support for project import as micro apps within another project
- Creation and hosting of app bundles on the platform
This was part of my professional work at Temenos India Pvt. Ltd. The platform enables designers and developers to create custom applications for their clientele in a low-code environment, encompassing everything from designing basic UI elements to coding and deploying the final application.
A low-code platform designed for both designers and developers can significantly ease their work by accelerating development, reducing complexity, fostering collaboration, and enabling rapid prototyping.
The low-code market is crowded with enterprise tools. Understanding the competitive landscape helped identify where Temenos's platform could differentiate, particularly in its financial-services-first focus and cross-platform deployment model.
Two primary user archetypes drove design decisions throughout the project, a developer focused on efficiency and reuse, and a designer seeking creative control without relying on deep technical knowledge.
A conventional business application typically consolidates a vast array of functionalities within a single UI. This creates loading challenges and makes it difficult to quickly locate specific features. Micro Apps solve this by dividing a monolithic app into smaller, independently manageable units.
Micro Applications is a platform feature that allows users to create multiple applications within the same project, enabling dynamic content reuse. Changes at the parent app level cascade across all child apps, while child-specific changes remain localised, giving teams both consistency and flexibility.
This feature also supported project-level theming, creating colour palettes, iconography, and template elements with the ability to apply multiple themes across micro apps within a single platform.
The platform supports multiple project types, each targeting a different deployment context. Understanding these deployment models was foundational to designing the creation and configuration flows.
The high-fidelity designs focused on reducing cognitive load for complex developer workflows, clear hierarchy, contextual actions, and a clean canvas for building and managing applications.
