About

I am a Product Designer, primarily focused on enhancing usability and building AI-first experiences. I currently work at Viven AI as a member of technical staff with previous experiences at Google and Augmental Technologies designing for wearables and voice-forward interactions. I completed my Master of Design from University of California Berkeley focused on design strategy and HCI. My thesis focused on developing a Conversational AI platform powered by GenAI, featuring dynamic interactive capabilities such as Q&A, summarization, note-taking, and cross-referencing, significantly improving the user experience and adhering to ethical and privacy standards in AI. In my ⁠past life, I worked as a Senior Physical Chip Design Engineer with NXP Semiconductors on 16 and 5 nm finFET technology where I gained experience in technical ownership, leadership, xfn collaboration.
