Software Designer

Optimistic about future of Blockchain adoption and Web 3.0

3 years ago

As a software designer with an engineering background, I’m passionate about solving real problems for people through technology.

I began my career in development but soon transitioned into a business role at Iconscout, India’s largest design asset marketplace. While there, I worked with a great team to build a global community of designers and photographers. Iconscout was later acquired by Lottiefiles, which was an exciting milestone and gave me invaluable experience in entrepreneurship and product scaling.

After that, I moved into the Web3 space, where I’ve had the opportunity to lead Product Design initiatives, working closely with founders to take 0-1 products from concept to reality. These products have ranged across fintech/ Web3, including non-custodial wallets, a global inflation dashboard, a financial data marketplace, a governance platform, and Flatcoin. Through these experiences, I discovered important gaps in the industry and growth opportunities.

While doing some experiments with a friend we found a major gap and opportunity to build a solution designed to balance compliance and privacy in blockchain. What started as a side project has now become my full-time focus, and I’m dedicated to making privacy more accessible for on-chain activities.

I enjoy connecting with people from different backgrounds, especially those who share an interest in technology, design, and even outside of that. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat!

Work Experience

2023 — Now

We are building A decentralized middleware solution designed to facilitate seamless integration of privacy between blockchain and protocols while remaining compliant.

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

  • I worked independently to complete projects ranging from new features to entirely new product offerings.
  • Conducted user research to understand user needs and problems
  • Lead internal workshops to define and refine design goals and needs
  • Design flows and experiences that are simple, intuitive, and elegant
  • Design new experiences or layouts that evolve or define visual systems in order to raise our bar for quality continually
  • 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.

**Non-custodial wallet**
Multichain multiplatform web3 wallet for the Laguna ecosystem.

Work closely with the Founder, CTO, CMO, and other stakeholders to think about product strategy and roadmap.

Projects

2023

Labyrinth is a multi-chain modular framework for private transactions on EVM chains, enabling shielded(private) accounts while meeting compliance needs using our decentralized network. Developers can integrate our plug-and-play SDK to perform all the activities users are accustomed to in DeFi: Transfer, Swap, Staking, Yield farming, Lending, Batch transactions for payroll, Token vesting, etc, while keeping their balance and actions private with simplified UX. as well as Al/ML and social applications.

2022

Truflation is a Non-biased inflation oracle.

A truly global inflation dashboard "Truflation" that would be the next coinmarketcap. It'd be bigger than that, in fact. This idea was originally proposed by Balaji Srinivasan to build a censorship-resistant inflation dashboard and later we started building it after Balaji and chainlink gave a grant.

Multichain multiplatform non-custodial wallet

2021

ARTH is a type of currency that is designed not to be pegged to government-owned currencies (like the US Dollar, Euro, or Chinese Yuan), but still remain relatively stable (unlike Gold and Bitcoin). Without being influenced by government-owned currencies, ARTH will be immune to inflation. Through stability, ARTH also becomes a superior choice of money for means of trade. This is unlike Gold or Bitcoin, which are used more as a store of value rather than a medium of exchange. GMU backs ARTH.

Product ARTH is a platform to scale usability where people can take interest-free Loans with leveraged positions, redeem, farm LP tokens and earn rewards, Analyse the whole protocol.
