Experience

Scalekit

Founding Designer

Jan 2024 – Present · 2 yrs 2 mos · Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India · Hybrid

As the founding product designer at Scalekit, I design developer-facing identity and authentication systems, with a focus on clarity, composability, and scale.
My work increasingly centers on AI-native architectures, including authentication and trust models for MCP-based agent workflows. I focus on translating complex concepts—delegated access, policy enforcement, extensibility, and service-to-agent interactions—into intuitive developer experiences across APIs, configuration surfaces, and onboarding flows.
I collaborate closely with engineering to shape system-level UX, improve DevEx for backend teams, and build flexible foundations that support both enterprise SaaS and emerging agent-driven products.
