Designer, researcher, and prototyper. I work as a Principal Research Product Designer at Meta's Reality Labs Research (Project Aria ) in Redmond, where I lead design, prototyping, and research across egocentric machine perception, contextual AI, spatial computing, and AI-based tooling. I also drive design strategy for how these technologies come together to shape the next generation of human-computer interaction. Before Meta, I worked across healthcare, education, filmmaking, travel, logistics, and sustainability, always blending systems thinking with emerging technology to solve problems that matter.

Outside of work, I make miniature art inspired by ancient Indian traditions, write algorithms that generate visuals, animate frame by frame, build tools that probably don't need to exist, and climb mountains.
