Product Design Lead @ BLive | Building software where sustainability pays for itself | Now building AI for elder care with GrowthX | Ex Ecolab

About

I design software where sustainability pays for itself. At BLive, I lead product design for the tools that run electric fleets and the ESG reporting that proves their impact. I work close to engineering: PRDs, design systems, research, and React when a prototype has to be real. I'm building Saathi in public with GrowthX, an AI that helps older adults spot and stop scam calls before they pay. I started after scammers put my grandfather under "digital arrest" and took ₹50 lakh. Follow along for the build notes. Previously Fountane, Ecolab, and Vine and Grove. HCI @ RIT. BLive is hiring a product designer. DM me if that's you.
