Hands-on design leader. 11 years across AI products, regulated fintech, healthcare, and complex B2B SaaS. Leading design at Triomics, an AI-driven startup helping cancer care providers reduce manual chart review and accelerate trial enrollment, across multiple product lines built on the OncoLLM engine. Working at the intersection of agentic flows and trust patterns in clinical AI; most of the work sits behind hospital firewalls. How I work: player-coach by default. Hire for attitude. Build calmly. Default to writing. Vibe-code with Claude Code when it earns its keep. Earlier: Yubi (Aspero B2C investing, ₹25Cr+ early revenue), PayPal (enterprise + crypto KYC for UK-based US taxpayers), o9, Tekion, Zoho, Hasura. Always up for thoughtful conversations on agentic UX, AI trust, and design systems that ship as code.

Director of Design at Triomics, Jun 2023 - Present · 3 yrs 5 mos, Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India, Lead end-to-end design across product lines at Triomics - an AI-driven platform helping cancer care providers reduce manual chart review and accelerate clinical trial enrollment. Backed by Y Combinator, Lightspeed, Nexus, and General Catalyst. Player-coach: hire for attitude over pedigree, mentor through critique and written feedback, stay hands-on on all stakes work. Architect AI-first design workflows: design system lives inside the engineering repo, prompt-driven prototyping with Claude Code, lightweight design QA processes that scale without proportional headcount. Partner directly with Product, Engineering, AI/ML, and GTM leadership. Drive decisions through customer interviews, usability testing, product analytics, and structured design reviews. Impact: 3 product lines launched in 1.5 years.
Lead Designer at Yubi, Jun 2022 - Jul 2023 · 1 yr 2 mos, Owned end-to-end design for two interconnected fintech platforms in the fixed-income vertical: Aspero (B2C consumer investing app) and Yubi Invest (B2B2C distribution). Cold-called 115 prospects in week one to research consumer needs; affinity-mapped responses into two real personas (smart investors vs. enthusiasts) and designed the product to serve both without compromising either. Shipped Aspero alpha in 25 days from research to live, then rebuilt the visual layer for retail tone. Tokenized the entire platform for a headless design system; frontend velocity went up, design QA went down. Led a cross-functional pod (designers, PMs, engineers); ran structured design reviews and shared written specs. Impact: - Aspero launched with ₹10 Cr projected FY24 revenue. - Yubi Invest enabled ₹15+ Cr in early transactions within months of launch. - Headless design system became the foundation for downstream Yubi products.
Designer 3 at PayPal, Jun 2021 - Jun 2022 · 1 yr 1 mo, India, Designed enterprise onboarding for PayPal's highest-revenue clients in a globally distributed product team across 3+ time zones. Owned the crypto KYC flow for UK-based US taxpayers, a regulatory mismatch that had blocked a high-value user segment from trading. Branched the form on tax status as the first question, pre-filled everything we already knew, and designed clear async-review states for documents under manual review. Unblocked the segment and helped close UK enterprise deals previously stalled on this issue. Worked closely with engineering, legal, and global teams under tight regulatory timelines. Wrote detailed Figma specs and async walkthroughs so partners could review without sync calls. Impact: reduced onboarding friction, improved partner activation, helped unblock high-value enterprise expansions.
Sr. UX Designer at o9 Solutions, Inc., Oct 2020 - Jun 2021 · 9 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Designed complex, data-rich B2B planning and supply-chain workflows for enterprise users. Built scalable UX patterns and contributed to early design system foundations; led PoCs to validate product directions before broader investment.
User Experience Designer at Tekion Corp, Apr 2018 - Oct 2020 · 2 yrs 7 mos, Bangalore, Designed core UX for an automotive retail platform at scale, building the highest revenue-generating pod, Parts. Integrated OEM data with the dealership management system so parts auto-populated from a unique part number, replacing a previously tedious form. Reduced parts-add time from minutes per item to seconds. Built reusable design frameworks from scratch (no design system existed) and mentored junior designers. Led design coordination with engineering on dev handover for reliable implementation.
