About

I am designer, researcher, and maker. For the past few years, I have been building experiences which are helping push the boundaries of AR/VR/MR at Facebook Reality Labs Research. In the past, I have worked on complex strategic problems requiring blending of systems thinking and advancements of technology. I have worked on projects in the areas of healthcare, education, filmmaking, travel/ tourism, food, logistics, outbound hiring, building information modeling, sustainability, and productivity. My interests are manifold and are constantly evolving, including miniature art forms from ancient India, frame-by-frame animation, algorithmic art using artificial intelligence, physical computing, intelligence-amplification, and design tooling.
