Dhivya Prabhakaran — Software Engineer
I’m pursuing a Master’s in Interaction Design at the University of North Texas, exploring how technology can be designed for human needs. Before moving into design, I worked six years as an AS400 developer at Cognizant and LTIMindtree, solving complex technical challenges and modernizing systems in Retail and Insurance. While I enjoyed coding and problem-solving, my interest in art and dance led me to the creative and human-centered side of technology, eventually pursuing Interaction Design. My software development background helps me approach design practically. I understand technical constraints and developer thinking, designing user-centered and realistic solutions. Currently, I’m learning and working on projects related to Human-Computer Interaction, UX Research, prototyping, accessibility and emerging technologies. I’m always happy to connect with designers, researchers, and technology professionals to learn, exchange ideas and collaborate on meaningful projects.
