Founding Designer.
Building at the edge of AI.
I'm Aditya Chinchakar, a product designer and builder with 7 years shipping AI products, design systems, and 0→1 builds across EdTech, FinTech, and Enterprise SaaS. Currently at Infosys and the founder of Aulys, an AI accessibility SaaS and Figma plugin — conceived, designed, and coded solo.
I don't wait for engineering to validate an idea — I prototype it, test it, and arrive at the meeting with data. My workflow — Antigravity, Claude, Figma Make, and v0 — isn't a talking point. It's how I compress weeks into days and turn half-baked briefs into shipped interfaces. Based in Pune, India. Open to Founding Designer, Staff Designer, Lead Designer, and Product Manager roles.

How I work
Research before pixels
Every design decision is backed by user research, competitive analysis, or a documented hypothesis. I don't skip the thinking.
Designers who ship
I write production React. Not to replace engineers — to collaborate better, prototype with real constraints, and reduce handoff friction.
Systems over screens
A great screen is a side effect of a great system. I think in components, tokens, and patterns before I think in individual layouts.
