What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine data-driven thinking with user-centered UI/UX—designing fintech experiences, iterating with user feedback, and collaborating cross-functionally to ship measurable improvements.

I’m a UI/UX designer and data-driven professional with a BTech in Computer Science & Technology from Bells University. My work blends structured problem-solving (data structures, algorithms, systems, probability/statistics) with practical design execution for real users and decision-making.

In my current UI/UX role at Inventors Community, I apply user-centered design to ship and refine products—most notably a breakdown request management app. Through iterative testing and high-fidelity prototypes, I reduced user errors by 20%, and I redesigned a financial analytics dashboard using human-centered design to improve data accessibility by 30%.

I also lead creative direction as Creative Director, where I set visual brand strategy and align design systems across multiple student-led engineering and product teams. I oversee multi-disciplinary creative workflows to ensure high-quality design execution for tech events, hackathons, and product launches within the university ecosystem.

Before and alongside design, I operate as a Forex Trader Associate, executing data-driven strategies using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) such as liquidity sweeps, market structure shifts, and institutional order blocks. I analyze systemic market behavior, collaborate on refining quantitative risk parameters, and focus on capital preservation through live-trading optimization.
