Hi, I’m Rakesh. I help companies build technology that feels like a partner, not just a tool.

I’m a UX Leader and Product Innovator who believes the best products don’t just solve problems – they understand people. I’ve spent the last decade leading teams to create digital experiences that are as intuitive as they are impactful, ensuring that as our world gets more automated, it stays human-centred.

What I’ve been up to:

– Leading for Growth: I’ve guided cross-functional teams to launch products that people love, including co-founding a gaming startup that grew to 210,000 monthly players and secured $425k in funding.

– Solving Complex Problems: I’ve led large-scale digital transformations for major universities, turning messy, confusing systems into clear, helpful tools for hundreds of thousands of students and staff.

– Designing the Future: I earned a PhD for pioneering “Body-Actuating Play”—a way for technology to work with our bodies to improve health, movement, and our connections with each other.

I’m passionate about leading the next wave of innovation, making sure we build a future where technology is more embodied, empathetic, and accessible to everyone.
