About

Presently I am a part of the founding team at Maxim AI. As the world builds more products with GenAI, we want to empower these modern AI teams to ship products with quality, reliability, and speed. Maxim helps teams evaluate and improve their AI products both pre and post release. As the design lead, I am working towards understanding the core pain points of our GenAI development as it keeps evolving so we can building strong foundations for a seamless experience. Before this I spent almost 4 years with the dynamic and evolving Product Design team at Postman where I led design for the enterprise side. With a team of product designers and in close collaboration with product and engineering teams, we constantly iterated on building the best API platform that solves needs across the API lifecycle for producers and consumers of APIs. This includes the design and development of APIs, API governance and security, integrations with other lifecycle tools, and intelligent experiences like reporting and search. As a person, I enjoy working with projects where I can use my logical and creative side together. UX has always allowed me to do that perfectly, blending creativity and technology to drive new innovation. Happy to chat regarding Product design, Developer experience or general career and opportunities in design. :)
