I design passwordless Windows authentication experiences that improve usability, reliability, and user trust.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Microsoft, I shape authentication and identity experiences for Windows, with a focus on making passwordless access feel seamless across devices.
I defined and advanced Microsoft’s passkey strategy through end-to-end native and cross-device experiences, collaborating with the FIDO Alliance working group alongside Google, Meta, and 1Password.
I’ve enhanced Windows 11 experiences including Lock Screen and Windows Hello face and fingerprint recognition, and contributed to Get Help, Xbox, and OOBE onboarding flows. I also prototype Windows apps, personalized widgets, and adaptive UI concepts using AI-assisted workflows.
Earlier at Neurobit, I designed mobile applications, dashboards, brand identity, sleep reports, and product illustrations while working closely with Engineering, R&D, and executive teams. I bring curiosity to observing everyday workarounds and turning them into more accessible, user-centred experiences.
