Designing for the 'Next Billion' and the 'Next Big Thing.' I’ve spent 8+ years bridging the gap between user needs and business goals. Whether it was solving 'last-mile' trust for a mobility startup or architecting global AI ecosystems for Google, Microsoft, Amazon, my mission remains the same: removing friction from the systems that shape our lives.

Apr 2022 - Aug 2025

Product Designer II

I designed the core experience for Lumi Camera and the Edge Extension ecosystem, transforming static interfaces into intelligent, conversational partners. I shipped features that help millions of users 'see' and 'reason' with the web, defining new interaction patterns for the AI era.
Sep 2025 - Present

UX Designer III

Architecting the future of work. I am currently designing autonomous HR agents for People Ops—moving beyond static tools to build adaptive systems that collaborate with humans. My focus is on 'trust' and 'observability' in AI workflows.
May 2018 - Mar 2022

UX Designer

Mastering scale at Amazon. I learned that good design must also be scalable business. I built the self-service Store Builder frameworks that empowered millions of global sellers to craft unique brand stories, balancing strict system constraints with creative freedom.
Feb 2017 - Apr 2018

UI/UX Designer

Building the plane while flying. At a hyper-growth mobility startup, I owned the end-to-end rental experience. I turned operational chaos into a seamless digital journey, solving deep trust issues in the unorganized bike rental market to boost user retention.
Sep - Nov 2016

Associate Developer

The technical bedrock. Before designing screens, I built them. Writing production code for SAP interfaces and integrating REST APIs gave me a permanent advantage: I speak 'developer' fluently, allowing me to design solutions that are as shippable as they are beautiful.

No gatekeepers here just open channels. Whether you want to discuss the future of Agentic AI, book a career strategy session, or simply critique my latest playlist, I’m always up for a chat.

My portfolio is messy (or non-existent). Should I wait to book?

Not at all. In fact, early-stage chaos is often the best time to talk. We don’t need a polished website to have a breakthrough. We can review raw Figma files, discuss your storytelling structure, or work on your personal positioning. I’d rather help you build the right foundation than critique a polished mistake.

I’m switching from Engineering (or another field) to Design. Can you help?

100%. I made that exact jump myself. I know the struggle of shifting from 'logic' to 'empathy.' I can help you translate your technical background into a unique superpower, showing recruiters why your diverse experience is an asset, not a liability.

What is your feedback style? Will you be nice?

I’m kind, but I’m not here to just pat you on the back. I believe in 'Radical Candor.' I won’t sugarcoat things because that doesn’t help you grow. Expect honest, direct, and constructive critique designed to push your work to a Senior or Big Tech standard.

How can I make sure I don't waste our time?

Come with a specific goal. 'Look at my portfolio' is okay, but 'I'm struggling to explain the problem statement in this project' is better. If you have links or specific questions, drop them in the booking note so I can prep beforehand. The more context you give me, the more value you get.
