What I do now

I currently work as a UX Design Specialist at SAP, leading buying experience UX. I have over 6 years of experience designing solutions for online marketplaces.

My Past

I'm originally from Kannur, a small beachside town in India. But spent most of life in the Middle-East - in Kuwait and Bahrain.

I started my career at IBM in India as an Associate Systems Engineer. About a year and a half later, my manager and I quit our jobs to start a logistics company, Boxme. It was a venture funded start-up that we grew from a 3 person team to 30.

At the start-up, I was responsible for Product Design and Management. I led design initiatives for 2 enterprise products, and had some of the largest e-commerce companies in India as clients. We sold the company after 2.5 years.

I wanted to learn how to leverage Design more effectively and systematically for product and business success. That brought me to Georgia Tech's MS in HCI Program.
