I'm a designer with an interest in building and coding. I strongly advocate for maintaining high product quality standards and believe that a deep understanding of technical constraints is essential for enhancing that quality.
Currently, I am spearheading neo-banking initiatives at LazyPay while developing a comprehensive design system from the ground up.
Career
Luckily, I discovered my interests while studying engineering. Instead of taking the traditional engineering path, I chose to become a designer. Once again, I was lucky enough to meet someone willing to take a chance on me—thanks, Manish. It's been a rollercoaster journey since then.
What I enjoy
I love capturing street photography with my Fuji camera. There's something inherently intriguing about the streets and the people who inhabit them. I document these moments as postcards.
I also find solace in cinematic storytelling, both in movies and animes. I'm a huge fan of Formula 1!. its blend of speed, driver narratives, and team strategies.
I also love to tinker with small projects like this website, Huumans and other things, where the only limitation is my imagination. There is a certain magic in making changes in the code editor, clicking save, and then seeing the pixels you created appear in the browser.
I've been trying to push out some code consistently but failing miserably.
Someday, I want to design physical products, especially furniture. Crafting tangible items promises far greater satisfaction than digital work.
This site
This website has been my playground to experiment with coding, with the sole goal of sparking joy in me.
It's website has been online since 2016 and has gone through many iterations. Every element is crafted and coded by me, pixel by pixel. Currently, all pages are generated using Next.js and served on Vercel, with media hosted separately on Cloudinary. All sections in Pinboard are managed using Raindrop's API. Read more.
