A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I’ve always been curious about how things work and how they can work better for people.

I’ve always been curious about how things work and how they can work better for people.

From Bangalore to Seattle, I went from learning how to build things to caring deeply about how they work for people. My background in computer science still shapes how I think. I look for structure, patterns, and the logic underneath a problem, but design pushed me to ask better questions and pay closer attention to the people, the context, and the small details that change how something feels.
