I build design systems engineers actually install — tokens, components, documentation, an npm package. Not a Figma file and a handoff meeting.
Pioneered Helix — HDFC Life's enterprise design system used across web, mobile, and internal tooling. Live at helix.apps-hdfclife.com.
India-first GST invoicing and payments for freelancers and small businesses. Built solo — product, design, front end.
Four years across banking, insurance, retail and telecom — HDFC Life, Asian Paints, and now e& — building the design systems those products run on. Tokens, component APIs, accessibility rules, documentation, and the package engineers install.
I write the code side too. The e& system ships as a React Native package with a Style Dictionary token pipeline and a docs site, which means the handoff problem mostly stops existing.
That's the part of the job I'm actually good at: making a system real enough that adoption isn't a persuasion exercise.
