Hello World.

About.

Hey, I’m Shyam! A curious soul, or better, a ‘question box’  (as my friends like to say).

​I’m all about solving problems, geeking out over science facts, and diving deep into science fiction. When I’m not lost in tech or design, you’ll probably find me weekending with F1, unwinding with some gaming, experimenting in the kitchen, or hitting the track for a fun karting session.

I’m a designer who’s always revving up for the next project. Think of me as your pit crew, analysing, strategising, designing, and fueling your ideas to the finish line. Did anyone say pitstop?

You could say that design is my second language. To me, design is a universal process that transcends any single discipline — it’s all about creativity and problem-solving. I deeply believe that design has shaped how we live and interact with the world.​Though the discussion around design can be endless and philosophical, I'll keep it short — the real magic is in how design turns ideas into experiences that shape our world.

Hey there! I’m <Shyam = "Designer"> <div skills = "HTML, CSS, JavaScript" level = "A2"> </div>

// I understand your pain

while (I’m != "engineer") { I’ve managed <design_processes> bridging the gap between {creativity} && {practicality} } let’s collaborate = "strategise, design, and code our way to the finish line";
