Designer by day,
builder by night.

Product designer at Reno Home by day. Most nights, building something I wanted and couldn't find.

Reno (opens in a new tab), my current home.

Reno Home is a marketplace for home renovation in the UAE. It puts homeowners in front of vetted contractors and suppliers, and the app is the layer that runs the job between them.

What I'm building now

The design studio (opens in a new tab)

The studio: a design practice inside the marketplace. A home goes in as an idea and comes out as a build-ready bill of quantities, with the app as its spine.

World Cup Predictor

Liveweb · 2026

We ran tournament pools at work and I wanted to know whether an AI could pick every match well enough to win them. So I built it once, fed it real form and live odds, and let it be right or wrong in public.

Tally

Money, read the way a person reads it — not the way a spreadsheet does.

Find a charger, see if it's free, plan the stop before the range anxiety does it for you.

  1. Born in Dubai

    01 · Dubai

    Born here, raised here, schooled here — an Indian kid whose home town is in the Gulf. Which is why the rest of this map is a round trip.

  2. A bachelor's in electronics

    02 · Vellore

    Four years of circuits at VIT, Vellore, and a slow realisation that I cared far more about how a thing felt to use than about what was inside it.

  3. The first design work

    03 · Chennai

    My first real design job, done from a bedroom in Chennai while the country was shut. An incubator startup, no studio, no desk — and the first time the work was mine to get wrong.

  4. Startups, then McKinsey

    04 · Bengaluru

    Two more startups from Bengaluru, then two years designing at McKinsey — my first job that came with a badge.

  5. Home, for Reno

    05 · Dubai

    A year off after McKinsey, then back to Dubai as Reno Home's first product designer. The studio is the chapter I'm in.

Flightplan

a skill I wrote

A planning skill I wrote for Claude Code. It reads a project, argues with the premise, then files one plan holding the context, the tickets and a live tracker — and hands over one ticket at a time.
