Bhavikaar
Bhav (n. Emotion, Empathy) + Bhavishya (n. The Future) + Kaar (suffix. The one who does/makes)
Definition: One who constructs the future using empathy.
I leverage a background in Computer Science, Human Computer Interaction and Business to design systems that tackle difficult problems. Driven by a need to understand the "Why", my approach is defined by deep-dive inquiries, participatory workshops, and a refusal to accept the status quo, connecting the dots between technical feasibility and human desirability. I have experience in scaling products and managing complex teams where I act as the translator between engineers, stakeholders, and users to create technology, from prototype to revenue.
