What I'm looking for

I'm targeting Senior Product Designer and Lead Designer roles at product-led MNCs and high-growth organizations where design intersects with strategy, engineering, and scale.

At OpenGov, I lead end-to-end design for the Permitting & Licensing mobile app and built its PWA from scratch, showcasing it to 120+ customers and helping convert 10 of 14 discovery calls into private-preview customers. I also created OpenGov's React Native mobile design system and co-created an AI frontend agent used across 16 government SaaS products.

Previously, I led UX for OakNorth Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, TCS Ignio AIOps, and Aditya Birla products. I've managed and mentored design teams, improved banking onboarding by 42% across 2M+ users, and helped drive 85% daily-active-user growth for ABHI's Activ Health companion.
