Selected work
AI workflows
I dabble around in AI and am always curious in terms of how can I improve my workflows on a daily basis. Sharing a few of them here:
Having a draft ready before I even look at a slack message
Using Slack + Granola MCP, I have setup a routine for Claude to draft a response for every Slack ping that needs my response
Design inspiration that I can actually go back to
I drop an inspiration link/image in my personal DM and Slack saves and categorises it on Atlas. It adds tags to the Image's meta data so that I can search for it later
Scheduled daily run to figure out my tasks
Claude Cowork goes through my Slack, Calendar and Granola and updates my tasks on a daily basis on Linear
Weekly check on UI changes
At Headout, everyone is enabled to make changes in frontend using Claude/Plato (our internal tool). It makes it hard to track all changes in UI. To solve for this, built a slack bot which keeps the design team informed on weekly basis on all frontend related changes

About
Born & raised in Chennai, a 17 year old me decided to pursue engineering for graduation to figure out what I wanted to do with rest of my life. That journey is what led me to find my career amongst numerous walks of life in this world. This journey led a guy who used designs posters for clubs in college to interning at startups at peak of COVID to now, lead product designer at Headout.
And that's the compact origin story of your friendly neighbourhood product designer.
