About

Who I am

I'm a design engineer — equally at home in Figma and in a React codebase. I translate product requirements and business workflows into interfaces people actually enjoy using.

B.Tech in Computer Science (AI/ML) from UEM Kolkata, with professional experience designing interfaces for AI-assisted and enterprise applications. I work closely with engineers to bridge the gap between UI/UX design and technical implementation — from first wireframe to shipped product.
