Software Designer

Optimistic about future of Blockchain adoption and Web 3.0

4 years ago

I’m a software designer with 5+ years of experience, focused on designing and building tech products. Right now simplifying Web3 UX & AI Design for various offerings.

Most recently, I co-founded Labyrinth, a multi-chain privacy platform, what started as a hackathon experiment turned into a fully developed product—we raised a pre-seed round within weeks from prominent investors fueling our mission to bring privacy and compliance solutions to Web3, launched on testnet, and tackled privacy, compliance, and UX challenges head-on.

I contributed to the product roadmap, led end-to-end product design, and turned user research into seamless DeFi experiences for different user segments. Along the way, I also worked on marketing initiatives, partnerships, and hiring for core engineering and marketing roles. we had the opportunity to present and collaborate with leading institutions, including the WBS Gilmore Centre Academic Conference at The Shard (London), the Bank of Italy (Financial Cryptography in Rome), and the CBER Crafting the Cryptoeconomy Conference (organized by Avalanche Foundation and Uniswap Foundation, with participation from Columbia University, Boston University, and Cornell Fintech). Additionally, we conducted privacy research in collaboration with ConsenSys and the MetaMask research team.

Before Labyrinth, I led 0-1 product design for:

  • Non-custodial wallet at Laguna Labs

  • Global inflation dashboard & financial data marketplace at Truflation

  • Governance platform, lending/borrowing service, and Flatcoin at Nuon

I have designed across the web, iOS, and Android. My expertise lies in designing scalable, user-friendly solutions for self-custody, AI-integrated fintech, and DeFi protocols, balancing financial security, regulatory compliance, and usability, but my work isn't limited to these domains.

I love working in cross-functional teams, bridging engineering, product, and business to build enterprise-grade, user-centric solutions that drive real impact. If you’re interested in building something exciting, feel free to reach out!

Work Experience

2023 — Now
Swtizerland (remote)

Labyrinth is a multi-chain privacy platform that enables private transactions while ensuring compliance through a decentralized compliance network (Decom) and a simplified UX on the web app. Its plug-and-play SDK simplifies privacy integration for dApps, offering seamless usability to traders, DAOs, whales, and retail users alike.

  • I worked on defining a comprehensive product roadmap, detailing features that strengthen Labyrinth’s position as a leading privacy solution on EVM chains while upholding decentralized compliance.

  • Lead end-to-end product design by translating user research into intuitive, privacy-first DeFi experiences without breaking current DeFi UX patterns for users. I created, scaled, and maintained a consistent design system with new design patterns, collaborated with developers for pixel-perfect execution, and prioritized features based on market insights.

  • Worked on roadmap delivery, complete rebranding of the company, and simplifying complex technology like a labyrinth for broader audiences.

  • Prototyped key use cases to demonstrate the possibility of providing privacy in various DeFi applications while facilitating tradeoff decisions that balanced cost, time, and features to drive impactful, user-centric product releases.

  • Led marketing initiatives, and established collaborations with leading communities and protocols to increase reach and drive growth for our privacy solutions.

  • Helped hire core engineering and marketing people

US (working remotely)

I joined Laguna as a product designer and subsequently took the lead in designing 3 products from the ground up. This includes designing a non-custodial wallet, developing a decentralized global inflation dashboard, a marketplace for Truflation (truflation.com), and NUON (nuon.fi) - a Flatcoin backed by the decentralized CPI of truflation.

  • I worked independently to complete projects ranging from new features to entirely new product offerings across all platforms (web, iOS, android)
  • Led a complete UX redesign initiative.
  • Created, scaled, and managed a comprehensive design system, optimizing the product experience across web apps, extensions, and mobile platforms.
  • Conducted user research to understand user needs and problems.
  • Led internal workshops to define and refine design goals and needs.
  • Partner with product managers, engineers, and other cross-functional partners to iterate on and oversee the user experience of a product from conception until launch

Non-biased inflation oracle - @truflation
"A truly global inflation dashboard "Truflation" would be the next coinmarketcap. It'd be bigger than that, in fact." These words were from Balaji Srinivasan and the idea was proposed by Balaji himself.

Inflation-proof flatcoin - @nuon
Inflation-proof flatcoin which uses Truflation's custom index for its peg to maintain stability against Inflation.
