AI Product Designer | B2B SaaS, marketplaces, design systems | 0→1 to platform scale | CS background, ships in React & Next.js

About

I'm a product designer working where AI features meet real workflows - the part where a recommendation engine has to fit how someone actually makes a decision, not just return good results. Most recently at Beegru, where I led UX strategy for a real estate marketplace operating across India, Singapore, and Dubai. That meant rebuilding search and recommendations, and the design system underneath them, before any of it could look like anything. Accessibility and component standards shipped as part of that, across both the public site and the internal tools. Before Beegru: agency and consulting work at Brandsaur and Huron, where I shipped client sites and worked on a Gen AI grocery app. Both taught me to reach a defensible direction fast, with incomplete information and a short deadline. My background is computer science, and I still build - React, Next.js, Framer, Webflow. That doesn't make me an engineer, but I know when I'm proposing something expensive, and I'd rather find that out at the wireframe stage than at handoff. Outside of client work I take on design challenges and hackathons. Placed 1st out of 128 teams in a Gen AI design competition, and I'm a Google Certified Innovator.
