Hey, I'm Shuvam. I'm a designer, doodler, writer, shutterbug and a software tinkerer.
I'm currently designing new observability paradigms at SigNoz and indie-hacking, working on projects like Sonder and Loop. In the past, I've worked with DeepSource, Devfolio, Solana, Codedamn, Luru and cut my teeth as the first Designer + fourth Engineer at Openhouse.
I transitioned into Product Design from being a Software Engineer in early 2020. I have always
loved to design, and it made sense to embrace both the worlds of designing as well figuring out how to build delightful interactions with code.
Once upon a time, I wanted to be a photographer ⎯ that dream has now comfortably settled into a hobby, and I always had a knack for doodling, music, and the spoken arts. I gravitate towards projects that allow me to realize ways to make humans interfacing with machines easier.
I have been indie hacking for a while now, building tools to scratch my itches, and working on experiments to explore new avenues of working with LLMs. A while back, I wrote a thesis on how to use LLMs to get things done for you, well before OpenAI launched function calling or JSON output ⎯ you can read that here. Sometime back, Show keys hit the #2 Product of the day on PH. Besides the intersection of arts and technology, you would usually find me hooked to a country/indie rock/bengali/classical playlist, or immersed in a book, or hitting the streets with my trusty old Nikon new sidekick ⎯ a Fujifim XT30 II. It's been some time since I picked up the violin, but after a formal twelve-year training, I assure I don't play too bad.
You can find me on Twitter where I talk about design, ideas, explorations, my prototypes, and anything else that catches my attention, or on GitHub where I build things in the open, or on Instagram.
Curious to know what my favourite Pixar and/or Studio Ghibli movies are? Or want grab a cup of (virtual) coffee ☕, share memes and talk about inclusive design? Feel free to reach out here 🖖
