Aditya Chinchakar

I don't wait for engineering to validate an idea — I prototype it, test it, and arrive at the meeting with data. Seven years across EdTech, FinTech, and Enterprise SaaS have taught me that the best design decisions happen closest to the user, not the boardroom. I've shipped AI products to 50,000+ users, built design systems from zero, and founded an accessibility SaaS I coded myself. 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.
