Computer Science to UX
I started off my career as a Software Developer, which gave me exposure to creating and deploying large scale enterprise-grade solutions for 1 Million+. The experience was empowering - and it made me realise that I craved to create experiences, beyond just outputs.
I delved into the world of Human-centred Design, to understand what truly touched users and to shape solutions around their behaviours. My journey into this field began with a commitment to self-learning, where I explored both theoretical concepts and practical applications through a series of engaging side projects.
The culmination of my efforts led me to a compelling opportunity in the healthcare domain with Studio5b - marking a significant shift from my experience in the telecom industry. This transition not only broadened my professional horizons but also gave me an opportunity to contribute with my acquired skills into the intersection of design, technology and healthcare.
Sparks of Interest
When pursuing my engineering studies in computer science, I often found myself naturally inclined towards areas of Front-end development.
Chasing my hobbies - Fine Arts and Sports, I picked up freelance Graphic Design projects with various agencies like SportWalk, Sportskeeda. Whether I was contributing to the Website & App design for student entities or volunteering for Blue Pilgrims (Indian football supporter group) to design the largest-selling Indian football scarf, these experiences played a pivotal role in boosting my confidence and laying the foundation for my journey ahead.
I realised I thrive in a creative environment, with a focus on how I validate and engineer a creative idea. In my final year, I founded the Design Club in my College to bring together interested minds.

A/B Testing my way to learn everyday
Taking a winding road through various interests and experiences, I've discovered genuine joy in untangling the complexities of human needs by designing products that create meaningful experiences. Currently I am diving into UX research, Design systems, Interaction design and Prototyping.
I love exploring new avenues in the field to ensure a constant infusion of freshness and opportunities to learn something new.
In my free time, I find satisfaction in experimenting with flavours in the kitchen and delving into the science behind cooking 👨🍳, or immersing myself in movies with intriguing plots 🎥.
As a forever fan of Feluda, my curiosity extends to almost anything and everything that feeds the knowledge-hungry enthusiast in me, leaving me refreshed and eager for the next discovery.

Computer Science to UX
I started off my career as a Software Developer, which gave me exposure to creating and deploying large scale enterprise-grade solutions for 1 Million+. The experience was empowering - and it made me realise that I craved to create experiences, beyond just outputs.
I delved into the world of Human-centred Design, to understand what truly touched users and shape solutions around their behaviours.
Initially to begin with, I took up side projects in UX Design space, learning from resources available in internet. While the developer skills in me initially faced challenges in areas of design research to have a divergent lens, I did overcome those quickly and crafted various side projects to create an initial portfolio.
While I had moved internally to UI team quite early and was immersed in creating experiences for various telecom solutions at TCS, I felt the urge to explore a new challenge that would allow me to explore and be in close interaction with users. Among various job offers, I decided to work at Studio5b, as it offered me an exciting opportunity to make a real impact in the healthcare space through design.
