About
The path changed.
The questions
got bigger.
I grew up in a joint family, where different needs shared one roof and moving forward meant listening, negotiating and finding common ground.
I started my career testing whether systems worked as intended, and slowly grew more curious about the intention itself: who it serves, what it assumes, and whether it’s worth building at all.
That question took me from engineering to UX, to NID, and to the work I do today. Engineering taught me how things work. Design taught me to ask who they’re for. Storytelling is how I bring a room along.
Where the questions took me
Each move widened the questions I could ask.
Does it work as specified?
Built my foundation in systems thinking and cross-functional delivery.
Beyond the work
Poetry
Chai and journaling
Long walks
The best problems
don’t arrive neatly framed.
I still think about that joint family table: different needs, one roof, and a way forward everyone could live with. My work is the same, just with people, systems and business goals instead of aunts and cousins.
