Hello!
Bonjour!
Namaste!
Sat Sri Akal!
Previously worked at NTT DATA Services, FIS Global, Capgemini, Exela Technologies and more.

I believe good design should make life feel calmer, kinder, and a little more human.
What began with posters, small websites, and quick mockups has grown into full-scale product experiences for governments, startups, and fintech teams. The thrill comes from transforming complex, messy problems into designs that make everyday life simpler and more thoughtful.
These days, I’m exploring the space where AI meets creativity, using tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney to design smarter, test faster, and bring imagination to life.
Recently, I started working as a seasonal advisor at Best Buy because I genuinely enjoy talking with people and helping them find the right tech for their needs. I love breaking down options, explaining features, and making sure customers walk away confident about their choices. Fun fact: my very first sale was a PS5 (disc version). I convinced a customer who wanted the digital version, which was out of stock, that the disc model was the better long-term pick.
Outside the design and tech world, I’m a family person who loves spending time with my kid, sneaking in a round of gaming to unwind, or tinkering with my Cricut machine, rug tufting projects, and old gadgets I repair and flip for fun (and sometimes profit). Always curious, always learning, and probably talking about tech a bit too much, if you ask my family.
I’m also a photographer who loves capturing stills from everyday life: quiet streets after rain, people lost in thought, sunlight through windows, and those candid moments that tell real stories. Photography keeps me grounded. It reminds me to slow down, notice details, and find beauty in ordinary moments. It is another way I explore composition, emotion, and storytelling beyond the digital canvas.
For me, design isn’t just about pixels or prototypes. It’s about curiosity, connection, and creating something meaningful, both on the screen and beyond it.

" Guru is a very creative designer, who pays attention to the detailed needs and wants of the end user, and translates them into designs that are reflective of the desired experiences. His designs are clean and simple, matching that of the modern esthetic. He represents UX well in the cross-team atmosphere and is well-respected by his peers within the same domain. He is definitely missed! "
