/ TLDR
I’m passionate about understanding people and uncovering the insights that drive meaningful product decisions. My work combines UX research, design, and emerging technologies like AI to create experiences that are both useful and intuitive. Through user interviews, usability testing, and data-informed research methods, I enjoy translating complex user needs into clear product opportunities. I thrive in collaborative environments where research can shape strategy, influence design decisions, and help build products that genuinely improve people's experiences.

Games
Like many kids, I spent countless hours playing games and imagining the worlds behind the screen. Since math was always my strongest subject, becoming an engineer felt like the natural next step toward building those worlds myself.

Engineering
I pursued Information Technology at Mumbai University to learn how things are built. But somewhere between writing code and optimizing algorithms, I found myself asking a bigger question: Why are we building this in the first place?
Publications
While designing projects during my undergraduate years, I stumbled upon User Experience. For the first time, I saw a field focused on understanding people, not just building with code.

Certifications
That curiosity pushed me beyond the classroom into UX Design, UX Research, and product thinking. Each course brought me closer to a clear goal: pursuing a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction.
HCI
At Indiana University Bloomington, HCI I was introduced to virtual reality and interaction design, which changed how I think about design. I learned that what people say, need, and do are often very different things.

UX Research
UX Research taught me how to ask better questions and learn from people with different perspectives. Every project became an opportunity to tackle ambiguous situations and better understand human behavior and complex systems.
Work
That led me to a Research Assistantship in Indiana University's Architecture and Interior Design department. There, I combined AI and VR to study human behavior and evaluate spaces before they were built.

Team
The best work I've done has never been done alone. I enjoy building trust, encouraging collaboration, and helping cross-functional teams navigate uncertainty together.
Process
My process starts by understanding the people, goals, and constraints within a system. From there, I use research, design judgment, and iteration to reduce uncertainty while keeping creativity and ethics in mind.

AI Workflow
I start with the problem, identify where AI can help, and determine where human judgment is still needed. Then I test, evaluate, and refine solutions to ensure that they are both useful and responsible.
Philosophy
My philosophy is simple: understanding people to build something meaningful. Curiosity, humility, and authenticity guide how I approach both design and life.

Other Interests
Outside of work, you'll find me playing sports (recently Pickleball), building games, experimenting with AI tools, watching anime, or learning Chinese.
