Hi, I'm Vivek
I design and ship products end-to-end: strategy, screens, launch, and whatever else needs doing. I've done it across mobile, web, hardware, and 3D, usually with tiny teams or alone. I'm at my best when there's no playbook yet.

Polycam
3D scanning platform. I lead design and product for fullstack and mobile teams — shipped Polycam's first creative tool, redesigned core capture flows, and own everything from research through launch. Also act as PMM: positioning, launch decks, email and in-app campaigns, analytics dashboards.

Mobile sync had been deprioritized for years. I pulled the support data, built the business case, got it on the roadmap, and then scoped and shipped it with one engineer.

I like shipping complete products, hardware, firmware, software, the whole thing.

Carriers needed to modify insurance applications without filing engineering tickets, which was a 2-3 week cycle per change. I designed the tool that brought that down to hours.
