Smart Kitchen for Down Syndrome

Role: Product/UX Designer · 2025

An accessibility-focused cooking tool that breaks recipes into visual micro-steps, adaptive guidance and safety prompts to support greater independence for people with Down syndrome. I prototyped the core flows and tested them with eight participants / caregivers, then iterated the step pacing and safety cues based on what actually reduced overwhelm in the kitchen.

Nando's HACCP Checklist App (NDA)

Role: UX Designer · 2‑week sprint with Nando’s · 2026

Role: UX Designer · 2‑week sprint
with Nando’s · 2026

Restaurant teams are already juggling orders, guests and the grill; adding paper checklists on top just guarantees things will slip. In a two‑week sprint with Nando’s UK & IRE, I visited restaurants, watched how staff actually move through the kitchen and helped turn their HACCP paperwork into a simple, tap‑through app. The new flows cut down duplicate work, reduce missed checks and give managers live visibility into food‑safety tasks.

StockChain - Blockchain based Stock Trade

Independent Fintech MVP · 2025

I designed and coded a functional MVP that helps investors make sense of tokenised trade activity and potential risk. It combines blockchain-backed transaction records with AI-assisted risk signals and plain-language explanations. I tested the core flows with users and iterated the transaction views and decision-making experience.

VR Experience - Exploring the Depths

Role: Product/UX Researcher · 2024

Most people scroll past “save the ocean” posts without feeling the loss. I researched how an immersive VR dive could shift that — putting users underwater, then turning a soothing experience into a data-driven reality check as the damage is revealed. Through twenty-five interviews / sessions, I explored what made the emotional shift land and translated those findings into a concept for the experience.

Meet Up at Loktantram Media Tech

Role: Product/UX Designer · 2023

MeetUp grew out of Khul Ke, an India‑first social platform with over 500k registered users, when we realised that rich, reliable video calling was the missing piece of engagement. It became a cloud‑based SaaS tool for simple, real‑time video meetings that support up to 200 participants per room with sub‑300 ms latency, helping teams run conferences and daily stand‑ups from anywhere with smooth, multidirectional audio and video that consistently achieves 99.9% uptime.
