The long story, short

About

I'm a UX engineer at Google who refuses to choose between the journey and the build. Most days I'm shipping product on Meet; most nights I'm building the next thing of my own.

Been at this for 9 years — ~3 yrs at Google Meet (Durham, NC), ~1.5 yrs before that at Google Pay (Bengaluru), and a stint at Cars24 where I lifted UI performance by 60%. The thread through all of it: most of my time goes into building products.

Off-screen I write poetry, perform theatre, and once played national-level cricket. The poet teaches me to listen; the theatre kid teaches me about timing. Both make me a better designer.

two screens

i live in two timezones —

one where the code compiles,

one where my mother's voice

still calls me beta at 2am.

 

both are home.

neither sleeps.
