As a Senior Interaction Software Engineer at Intuitive Surgical, I specialize in designing and developing the next generation of surgeon console interactions. My work focuses on enhancing the control of patient-side robotic systems and instrument settings, with a growing emphasis on creating intuitive, autonomy-based interactions for surgical teams.
Previously, as an HMI Engineer at Skyryse, I built AR/VR simulations, refined cockpit interactions, and shaped the user experience for pilot-assist and autopilot systems.
My journey into the world of human-machine interface (HMI) began long before my professional career. From my school days in India, I was experimenting with multi-sensory storytelling, using everything from 3D projection mapping to overlaying digital layers onto live dance performances. This fascination with blending the physical and digital worlds led me to a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from Gujarat Technological University and later a Master's in Multimedia and Creative Technologies from the University of Southern California.
I am profoundly curious about how emerging technologies like AR and VR can foster a more compassionate and connected society. My practice involves a continuous cycle of visual design, rapid prototyping, and research into new applications of immersive mediums.
I'm fascinated by the elegance of symmetrical designs, XR experiences, music, and the intricate beauty of mathematical patterns.
