I am interested in visual digital storytelling and in combining technology and art for education.
I was born in New Delhi, India, and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a B.Sc. in Computer Science at UCLA. My passion for computers began early, and I have since become proficient in various software and programming languages, using these skills across diverse projects.
Transitioning from front-end development to user experience design, I honed my skills as a design apprentice at Blind, a design studio in Santa Monica. There, I learned about User-Centric Design, UX Facilitation, and Design Thinking. I gained valuable experience interning at startups and agencies such as GoGuardian, Blind, Use All Five, and Schoolinks, including developing the website for the TV show Bates Motel.
Currently, I am a Senior Front End Engineer at Meta, specializing in rapidly prototyping and launching 0-1 initiatives across various industries. I lead projects that combine AI, storytelling, and cutting-edge technologies to create immersive user experiences. My roles at Meta have allowed me to bridge the gap between design, engineering, and product management, validating new products and driving user engagement.
Outside of work, I actively contribute to the tech and design community. I founded and led Creative Labs at UCLA, organized events for LA Hacks, and built a vibrant creative community at @workinprogressnyc. I love meeting new people and making friends, so feel free to drop me a message!
