About

Designing products that millions depend on.

Kathmandu, Nepal · Open to remote opportunities and relocation

I'm a Senior Product Designer with 15+ years designing enterprise SaaS, government and AI-powered products. I solve complex problems through user-centred design, working across products used by millions of people as well as enterprise platforms used by thousands of organizations.

My focus is simplicity, scalability and measurable product outcomes — building systems that hold up as products grow, not just interfaces that look good on day one.

Career highlights

  • Started in Startups Built products end-to-end across UX, UI and front-end development.
  • Government Digital Services Designed public platforms used by millions of citizens while working with Microsoft's design team.
  • Enterprise SaaS Helped grow Decisions from fewer than 50 customers to over 5,000 enterprise organizations while leading product design initiatives.

Four million citizens. Every interaction represented someone's reality.

Outside of work you'll usually find me playing futsal, staying active at the gym, spending time with my family and my German Shepherd, Simba, or exploring the latest AI tools simply because I'm curious about what's possible.

I also write about product design, AI, and career growth on the blog.
