Experience
Over the years, I have refined my workflow which involves identifying system capability (AI complexity) as I ideate and prototype, ensuring a user-centered approach.
Furthermore, I have worked on augmenting speech therapy via 3D avatars grounded in NLP and ASR. Resulting in the union of conversational user interfaces and human-centered AI.
Lastly, I have designed spatial experiences to promote local history in downtown Indianapolis. My experience in software development makes me an effective communicator.
Academia
While pursuing Masters in Human-Computer Interaction, I focused on cognitive neuroscience and behavioral psychology which furthered my knowledge AI perception and how to design for the same.
Additionally, having a bachelors in manufacturing engineering with a focus in human factors, enables me to create accessible, intuitive, and visually appealing solutions.
Moreover, I pursued my research interests encompassing human AI interactions, phonetics, and motor-speech disorders.
Experience
I have significantly contributed to AI design, by outlining its level of complexity and applying design principles which best fit. My workflow involves identifying system capability and complexity as I ideate and prototype, ensuring the end-experience to be user centered. My knowledge in AI positions me to contribute to cutting-edge technologies.
Furthermore, I have worked on advancing speech therapy by augmenting it via 3D avatars grounded in NLP and ASR. Resulting in the union of conversational user interfaces and human-centered artificial intelligence.
Finally, I have designed spatial experiences to promote tourism and local discovery in downtown Indianapolis. My experience in software development complements my knowledge of design while working on iterative prototyping and collaborating with developers.
Academia
As I pursued my masters in Human-Computer Interaction, one of my key areas of focus was on cognitive neuroscience and behavioral psychology which helped in further my knowledge on the perception of artificial intelligence and how to design for the same.
Additionally having a background in engineering and Mathematics has helped in realizing the importance of human factors, bridging the gaps between design and technology, in addition to creating intuitive, visually appealing solutions that enhance user engagement.
Moreover, I pursued my research interests encompassing phonetics, motor speech disorders, and human AI interactions. AI ethics and human behavior were a crucial part of my research.

Smooth curves have a visual appeal which is the first thing people notice. But the smoothening of the curve have a sound foundation in geometry - a branch of mathematics.

B splines
Basis Splines explain the nature of smooth curves, among multiple control points.
Bi,p(t) = [(t - ti)/(ti+p - ti)]Bi,p-1(t) + [(ti+p+1 - t)/(ti+p+1 - ti+1)]Bi+1,p-1(t)

bezier curves
Bezier curves are a special kind of B Splines, as Bezier curves ensure that even composite curves are smooth and continuous.
B(t) = P0 + t(P1 - P0) = (1 - t)P0 + tP1
