About Aditya

Hey, I'm Aditya.

I spent nearly 6 years at Huddle01 as its only product designer, working directly with the founders and engineers on Meet, Cloud, and its rebrand as Vertical, Network, Terminal and House, plus the websites, dashboards, and mobile apps around them. Now I'm a contract designer, working with Clipstake.

I started out as a full-stack developer, so I still think about how something gets built almost as much as how it should work.

Most of my work has been on products with a lot of complexity underneath, like developer infrastructure, real-time communication, financial tools, and marketplaces. I like working out what has to stay complex, what can disappear, and how to make the whole thing feel obvious once it reaches someone's hands.

If you're building something thoughtful or ambitious, I'd love to hear about it. I'm open to full-time roles and contract work.

Rebuilt the Sales page around pacing against the month's budget, so the channels furthest behind surface first.

  4. Redcarpet

    Developer, then Product Design InternApr 2020 → Oct 2020

    Started out building production features for a fintech mobile app, then moved into product design within the same team. That's where I learned how closely design decisions and engineering constraints are connected.

Background

I studied Computer Science and Engineering at Amity University, graduating in 2020. During university, I also spent time studying at Birkbeck, University of London and Adelphi University in New York as an exchange student. That technical background still influences how I work today, particularly when collaborating closely with engineers & taking ideas from design into production.
