I'm Viraj. I like building things, understanding why they work, and occasionally redesigning the entire thing because I had a better idea at 2AM.
I build things because I can't leave an idea alone. Native iOS, mostly — Swift, SwiftUI, on-device models, interfaces that have to feel like they belong in someone's hand. Product design and experimentation live in the same week.
I'm interested in the space between what technology can do and what people actually need from it. I usually start by thinking about the experience — how someone will use it, what they might expect, and what could make it feel effortless — and work backwards into the technology.
Currently building and exploring generative UI, on-device intelligence, and software that adapts to people.
