Full-stack Principal Designer with 15+ years across the complete design discipline — user research, interaction design, design systems, and AI-integrated practice. I own problems autonomously, deliver validated outcomes, and build design capability in the teams around me.
Sole designer reimagining XML-based policy authoring as a visual canvas interface. Co-led live usability validation at OpenText World 2025 in Nashville with 9 enterprise participants.
Led foundational UX research for OpenText XDR — built two primary personas, defined IA across Detection, Discovery, and Response workflows, and ran a structured competitive audit spanning CrowdStrike and Microsoft Defender.
Collapsed fragmented AWS, Azure, and GCP onboarding flows (8–10 steps each) into a single 3-step modal. Validated through contextual inquiries with Informatica, Unacademy, Nvidia, and others.
Led next-gen redesign of the Micro Focus Service Desk — search-first portal with integrated App Store for ZENworks bundle requests. On-site contextual inquiry with Trinity Health, CalTrans, City of Fresno (67,000+ managed devices) and internationally.
Led monthly sprint design for Oracle Live Experience (iOS, Android, Web) for MediaMarkt and Garmin. Also led end-to-end UX for Oracle Unity Data Platform — 4 technical personas, transformation interfaces with live preview. All work integrated into the Redwood Design System.
Built AI design fluency across 6 cross-functional teams — facilitating Tree of Thoughts and Chain of Thought prompting workshops, and guiding teams in using Figma Make for component generation and sub-design-system definition.
I'm a Full-stack Principal Designer based in Bangalore — working across the complete design discipline from user research and interaction design through to design systems and AI-integrated team practice. 15+ years designing enterprise B2B products across security, cloud, and endpoint management.
I tend to take on the hardest problems: the ones where the domain is genuinely complex, where users are experts under pressure, and where getting the interaction wrong costs real money or real time. I've done on-site contextual inquiry with healthcare systems, government transportation departments, and Fortune 500 enterprises.
I also think seriously about AI in design practice — not as a gimmick, but as a genuine shift in how design teams work. I've facilitated workshops on Tree of Thoughts prompting and Figma Make adoption, helping teams move from skepticism to fluency.
Open to Principal Product Designer roles, advisory engagements, and consulting opportunities — in India and internationally.
