I take AI-native products from 0→1 and make complex
systems feel obvious.

My Projects

B2B SAAS · AI CODING ASSISTANT

Building a vibecoder with
backend capabilities

Problem

Builders couldn't tell if the agent had understood them or was quietly

getting it wrong.

Key decision

Make the agent's thinking visible in real time, instead of hiding it behind a

loading state.

Research insight

Builders trusted the system when they could see progress and reasoning — not just the final result.

Outcome

Reached $150K ARR and #1 Product of the Day within 2 months of launch.

Impact

Builder trust

Social impact · DISCOVERY-LED· NDA · Google org

A Global AI Use Cases Repository

Problem

Relevant AI work in the social sector existed, but language and keyword search made it nearly impossible to find.

Key decision

Converge archetypes around intent, not identity — design for the person who doesn't know the right keyword yet.

Research insight

90+ raw needs across 6+ stakeholder sessions consistently pointed to the same

4 problem themes.

Outcome

Validated high-fidelity prototype with a working design system, ready for build.

MARKETPLACE · WEB & MOBILE0→1

Building India's first P2P aquarium marketplace

Problem

No platform in India handled species compatibility, tank size, or trust between buyers and sellers.

Key decision

Audit 8+ Indian and 15+ global platforms before designing, instead of assuming what a niche marketplace needed.

Research insight

Hobbyists, breeders, and boutique sellers were united by one need: trust over rare,

specific species.

Outcome

Dev-ready hi-fi prototype with full buyer/seller flows, now

staging for launch.

MOBILE · RESEARCH-LED REDESIGN· PET TECH

Improvisation of the Pet
Parent App

Problem

Users couldn't discover features the app already had — clutter buried the tools

they needed.

Key decision

Design for familiarity over novelty, using Jakob's Law to mirror apps users

already trusted.

Research insight

12 interviews across a 100-user pool converged on the same three

pain categories.

Outcome

Home-screen redesign handed to the product design team, carried into the shipped build.

in Bangalore

Thesis · Nimhans

Beyond Borders - Thesis

Problem

Rural India has almost no access to post-stroke rehabilitation, though 75% of recovery depends on it.

Key decision

Design tools from what a village already has, instead of importing equipment or therapists it doesn't

Research insight

Sevikas — trusted local women — are the de facto healthcare providers, but lack tools and confidence to

guide recovery.

Outcome

Chosen as an outreach programme initiative for NIMHANS.

Impact

I design the system, not just the screen.

A math background means I default to mapping the system: the decision points, the edge cases, the "what happens when this breaks" — before I open Figma.


Strategy first, pixels second. I'd rather spend an extra week understanding the problem space than

redesign twice.

People in real life, not just users.

My main motivation of creating digital experiences is to provide people with more opportunities. I believe that human potential is limitless and the mission of digital environment is to nourish it.
