About

Hi! I am Nilakshi, a developer with a passion for UX.

I primarily work as a developer coding with several languages and frameworks like java, python, html, angular, bootstrap etc. I graduated with a degree in Computer Science and Engineering and worked as a software developer in IBM for two years. I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Human Computer Interaction from Rochester Institute of Technology.

My interest in UX was first sparked when I studied about it during the course of my degree. It seemed to answer all the questions I had about why some sites did not feel appealing or felt out of place even if they had attractive colors and animations. It gave me a new insight about how humans percieve things and interact with them and what factors affect their experience. All of this was so interesting, I felt like I had a moment of epiphany. This is the reason why I have decided to pursue it further and learn more about how I can improve the way humans interact with computers, so that it can be more intuitive, natural and accessible to everyone.

Although my interest in UX feels more like a hobby than work, I do enjoy several other hobbies apart from it. When the day feels too long and tiresome, I spend my time with my precious notebook and pencil to sketch my stress away, or when I get the strike of inspiration for a moment, I make sure to record it in my sketch. I also enjoy reading comics or watching tv shows.
