About

I'm a Design Engineer who solves the translation problems between design and engineering teams. Currently leading a cross-functional team of 7 at Jio Fynd, I've learned that the best products come from someone who understands both the design vision and technical implementation. With 13+ years spanning Product Design and Frontend Development, I bridge gaps that most people can't. I speak fluent design strategy and fluent code - from user research and prototyping to React components and Webflow systems. Beyond individual contribution, I've mentored 1000+ designers and developers, helping them see how design thinking and technical execution strengthen each other. I'm passionate about building products where great design and solid engineering aren't competing - they're collaborating.
