About
I grew up in Mumbai, a city that taught me to thrive in diversity and constant motion. My path began in Computer Engineering, where I learned to break down problems with structure and precision. Over time, I realized that the most meaningful solutions emerge when logic meets empathy.
Curiosity led me to Human-Computer Interaction, encouraged by supportive seniors. At GNOME, I saw firsthand how accessibility can shape design at scale, and at Carleton University, I learned there’s no single “right” method — the best solutions come from combining approaches to fit the problem at hand.
That mindset drives how I work today: questioning, refining, and searching for better ways forward. I’m a long-term thinker who seeks clarity, values consistency, and collaboration — both in design and in life.
