What's up 👋! My name is Chaitanya, or Chai for short! I'm a product designer and front-end engineer with a background in design and computer science at The University of California, San Diego and currently a graduate student in the HCI program at DePaul University. I am passionate about crafting delightful experiences that are meaningful and enjoyable, be it in the consumer or enterprise verticals.

As a product designer, I thrive on solving complex system design challenges by uncovering elegant, simple solutions. My approach and background blends the algorithmic mindset of a programmer with the empathetic insight of a designer, allowing me to create impactful products in collaborative, multidisciplinary environments.

Outside of work, I love traveling, experimenting with cooking, listening to electronic music, urban photography in SF and going to concerts with friends. I'm also an avid Chelsea FC fan (#COYB) and amateur soccer player, getting a game in any chance I get.
