About

Aryan

I started shipping products at 15. I am a designer-engineer who has run both modes of the job: co-founding GamerTag as Founder & CPTO, pre-seed funding across three rounds, a ~20-person company I hired into, an engineering team of ten, and the Red Dot Award 2024 for Communication Design, and then designing, building, and deploying Happly alone, a video-first recruitment platform with an AWS Bedrock screening pipeline.

The claim is one person covering a whole product team: design craft that wins awards, and the ability to ship the full stack (frontend, backend, cloud, AI, growth, and compliance) when the product needs it. Neither half is a side skill, and at GamerTag neither was separable from owning the commercial layer.

Awards

  • Red Dot Award: Communication Design 2024

    Individual recognition for design work on GamerTag.

How I work

  • Evidence over optimism: decisions grounded in shipped outcomes.
  • Design-first execution: product quality must be visible and felt.
  • End-to-end ownership: strategy, design, build, deployment, and iteration.
  • Breadth as consequence of role: growth, compliance, and ops when the product needs them.
