About

I’m an AI-Powered UI/UX Designer with almost 3 years of experience designing accessible, enterprise-grade digital products for EdTech and Healthcare. I was the sole designer on Mitra, a multilingual AI chatbot deployed across 7 Indian states (Karnataka, Bihar, Nagaland, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Odisha) for teachers and principals in government schools. I also led a complete redesign of SAATHI, a coaching app that helps school leaders turn challenges into action plans. Before that, I designed DeepGrade, an AI grading platform used by 100+ schools and 50,000+ students across India, and built DeepCue, an AI-powered flashcard tool for student revision, end-to-end. What I actually do, day to day: - Take products from discovery and user research through wireframes, prototypes, and production-ready UI - Use AI tools like Replit, Lovable, and Antigravity to accelerate design and test ideas fast - Write documentation engineers can build from directly - Design with accessibility (WCAG) in mind from the start I’m based in Bengaluru (Bangalore) and open to hybrid or remote UI/UX, Product Designer, and AI Product Designer roles. Tools: Figma, Adobe XD, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lovable, Replit, Antigravity, ChatGPT, Claude Portfolio: surya-sj-portfolio.netlify.app | Behance: behance.net/srysj1
