About

Pranav -> designer/technologist

I spent my early career working primarily in Shanghai, China developing interactive experiences and 0->1 product prototypes for the fast-paced Chinese market. Working in small agencies / startups, being invloved in different stages of product development taught me a lot about building fast, testing products with users early and collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds.

Currently in the UK, designing future interior Experiences for Jaguar LandRover (JLR).

The work I do usually sits between

• Design, Strategy & Engineering
• Writing code, designing HW & conceptual decomposition
• Early stage ambiguous problems, 0->1 briefs
• Using prototyping as a tool for inquiry & storytelling

Technology & Methodologies

Over the years I have used various technologies & methodologies to varying different levels, many of which I have listed here (in no order):

JavaScript, C++, Python, Docker, Git, WebRTC, C, OpenFrameworks, Figma, Miro, Illustrator, Photoshop, Conceptual Thinking, Creative Workshop Facilitator, Experience decomposition, User Journey Mapping, WebSockets, Vue Framework, HTML,CSS MQTT, IOT Systems, RPI, Arduino, ESP, MCU’s, SOC’s, Sensors, Actuators, I2C/SPI/CAN/LIN, DMX Lighting, ROS 1, Fusion 360, KiCAD PCB Design, SMD Soldering, 3D printing

In my free time, I like to build things (mainly physical & sometimes digital) that help me with my work, hobby and that inspire me. You can also find my volunteering at Repair Cafe in Coventry City Center.
