Had a call with him for portfolio and resume review + some honest career guidance. Super precise about what actually needs fixing, what to add, and why it makes your portfolio stand out. Very nuanced, very practical feedback. If you’re early in your UI/UX career and want real direction, I’d genuinely recommend talking to him.

he gave personalised advice to me based on my resume & portfolio and helped me by guiding on how to pick a good problem statement, use AI and get 1st internship. So grateful for the session even at 10PM he connected with me. It was amazing!

Currently, as a founding designer at Zakya (Unified Retail POS), I focus on 0→1 product design—optimizing checkout flows, enhancing mobile POS on Android & iOS, and leading design for online ordering apps and builder tools. For me, design is about empathy, evidence, and impact—solving real problems while creating experiences people love to use.
