I'm Mahesh, a product designer. The part I like most is 0→1: taking an idea past the screens into how the thing actually works, how it gets built, and how every piece fits together.
My background is computer science and UX, so I think on both sides of the screen: how an experience should feel, and how it will actually be built. I've worked on 0→1 products, websites, design systems and complex platforms, carrying them from early ambiguity through research, flows, interfaces, prototypes and launch.
AI is native to how I design and build now. I use it across the whole process, from research and exploration to ideation, prototyping, testing and execution, which shortens the trip from an early idea to a real, working product.

Experience
Six roles, a handful of industries, one habit: ship the thing, then look at it again.

Off the clock
(this one comes with popcorn)
I love cinema and comics, Marvel especially, and American muscle from the era when a car was drawn rather than optimised. Most of my best ideas start in a dark theatre, halfway through an issue, or looking at a 1969 Chevelle Yenko.
