Product Designer @Thence | B2B & B2C SaaS | AI | Fintech | Productivity | Problem Solving

About

Hi, I’m Gokul, a product designer with 3+ years of experience in B2B & B2C SaaS, fintech, and automation. With a Bachelors degree in Computer Science, I transitioned into design after realizing my strenght in problem-solving — focusing on understanding the root cause before crafting solutions. I believe that identifying the right problem is just as important as solving it. This mindset shapes my approach, ensuring well-thought-out, impactful designs that address core user needs. At Thence, I work on a B2B SaaS fintech product in the stock market domain, leading the design process from defining the problem to creating high-fidelity solutions. My work has been recognized for its clarity, finesse, and impact, earning client appreciation. Previously, at a startup, I took complete ownership of a no-code trading strategy and automation tool, designing its MVP. I closely collaborated with the dev team to build a scalable system architecture, leveraging my knowledge of stock trading. I'm interested in solving complex design challenges and continuously learning to push the boundaries of SaaS products. Let’s connect!
