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\.
