Projects

• Swish User Experience ImprovementsThis prototype focuses on improving Swish for frequent urban users who order multiple times a week and face common issues with addresses, delivery timing, repeat meals, receipts, and price confidence. The goal is to streamline the experience by implementing features like default addresses, arrive-by scheduling, flexible meal routines, notification controls, saved dishes, bulk receipt exports, a clearer Swish ↔ GO experience, and a more transparent GO Price Proof flow using users' past Swiggy/Zomato bills, ultimately making ordering faster, more predictable, and more useful.Product management · vibecoding · prototype development
• Headout Onboarding Experience ImprovementThis prototype reimagines how Headout can personalize trip discovery and planning from the initial interaction, moving away from a generic onboarding process. It focuses on leisure travelers who have a specific trip in mind but need assistance in refining their options, particularly when traveling with diverse groups. The experience learns from user inputs like travel party, interests, accessibility needs, and planning style to enhance recommendations and contextualize discovery. I also investigated features like interactive itineraries, wishlists, sharing and voting, and filters for family/age and accessibility, alongside context-rich reviews. The core idea is that Headout’s strong inventory and curation can be complemented by gathering relevant user context to streamline discovery, enhance recommendation accuracy, facilitate collaborative planning, and encourage repeat visits.
• Foobar - Sysadmin Scripting AISourceFoobar is an MVP designed for sysadmins and IT operations teams, exploring how an AI agent can enhance infrastructure work beyond just generating code. It transforms natural-language requests into scripts, allowing users to review, edit, and deploy them safely, while reducing operational friction and maintaining human oversight in high-risk actions.
