Founder, Arka by Unimind — real-time AI fraud detection for India

About

I design high-scale consumer products focused on trust, conversion, and real user behavior. I’ve worked across quick commerce, fintech, mobility, and AI-led product systems, solving problems where small UX decisions directly impact confidence, drop-offs, retention, and revenue. My work spans checkout systems, discovery, trust signals, AI-assisted interfaces, design systems, prototyping, and end-to-end product journeys used by millions. I’m especially interested in the space between product design, AI workflows, and design engineering: turning messy product problems into usable, testable systems. Outside full-time work, I build small AI product experiments to explore verification, decision support, and how people make sense of digital information. I care about building products that don’t just look good, but work under real-world constraints and actually change how people behave.
