An engineer :)turned designer
Originally from India, now based in the UK.
In 2020 during Covid lockdown, I happened to attend a UI/UX workshop. That night I pulled an overnighter designing the Instagram home screen. The rest, as they say, is history.
After graduating as an engineer in 2022, I landed a contract role at a startup before joining FOAPS as a full-time designer. Working lean meant owning more than just design. My biggest win at FOAPS was redesigning the onboarding journey for restaurant partners, cutting support dependency and nearly doubling successful onboardings.
In 2023 I quit my job, moved countries to pursue a Masters in HCI. In 2025 I became the first design hire at KEWORDAL, owning the full product experience across web and mobile.
Outside of work I'm either at the gym, binging anime, or building something new on the internet. I've been a top listener of AKON for several years now.
