Summary
John Salaveria is a senior product designer with 12 years of experience crafting consumer-focused digital experiences across companies like DoorDash, Meta, Instacart, and Yelp. He blends a software engineering background with product design sensibilities—moving from front-end engineering roles to leading search, personalization, and payments-integrity design efforts. At Instacart he shaped cross-marketplace home experiences; at Meta he led initiatives to reduce advertiser payment fraud; and at DoorDash he’s exploring new in-store customer modes to expand beyond delivery. A queer Filipino-Canadian based in New York, he brings a user-research-led approach, prototypes complex micro-interactions in code, and regularly collaborates deeply with PMs and engineers to ship measurable product outcomes.
