UI/UX Designer | Enhancing User Experiences
With a robust foundation in computer science, I hold a Master of Science from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and a Bachelor of Engineering from Osmania University. My career is marked by a strong focus on UI/UX design, currently contributing to Voodies where I develop responsive web and mobile interfaces. My work at Voodies emphasizes user-centered design, enhancing usability and engagement through strategic research and collaboration. Previously, I revamped the Neuroscience Foundation's website, significantly improving navigation and user interaction. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at UNC Charlotte, I mentored students in UX design, fostering their skills in wireframing and prototyping. My experience also includes leading mobile app development initiatives with Google Developer Student Clubs, where I educated peers on Android development. My expertise lies in creating cohesive design systems that streamline user experiences and align with branding strategies.
