Hi, I'm Gautham
A Product Designer and AI researcher.
I sit between AI, design, data, and people. Most of my work starts where those things refuse to cooperate.
The work that matters often grows in the in-between.
I work across design, engineering, and AI - most of what I build lives where those fields overlap. A patient communication system that needed to understand 264,000 stories. An enterprise AI product that went from brief to shipping in two weeks. A VR therapy app that had to work one-handed from a hospital bed.
Every project taught me the same thing: the interesting work lives between disciplines. I think in systems, prototype fast, and stay close to implementation.
