🚧 wip, give me feedback! come back soon
Hi there! My name is Arjun, I love learning new things and being creative with what I learn. I got a big smile, a huge laugh and boatloads of enthusiasm from my belief that
Life is meant to be enjoyed - preferably together
Living life,
Arjun style
This means I like exploring the world we live in, thinking about how things work experimenting with it. It means bringing people together, sharing each other’s company and having fun goofing off. In general, it’s a lot of fun.

Bringing people together
I’m so extroverted, I welcome social challenges. Hate small talk? I’ll get deep. All
strangers? I know what to say. Crippling anxiety? I am a safe place. But there’s no better
time for my extroversion than when I myself am feeling depressed.
In early November
2022, I was so sad. My dad’s passing 10 months prior was hitting me hard. One particularly
down day, I hosted six friends for a game of We Are Not Strangers. They all knew my sadness,
and came with their hearts open.
By the end of the night we had all cried, laughed
a good amount, exchanged several hugs, and shared some of the darkest parts of ourselves. I
can’t really describe how it felt afterwards, like I was uplifted, like we had healed
together.
As each friend said their goodbyes, it became apparent how rare and
beautiful this night was. I truly believe that this night was an example of the beauty of
life. I want to live every day connecting with others and bringing people together.
Book club hours
Here are two books I recommend to anyone.
The Culture Code by Daniel Coyle teaches you how to make people around you feel comfortable.
I'm not religious, but the takeaways of The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle help me view the world.
I can recommend more! Let's chat all about books
More books...It takes a village
I'm incredibly blessed to have amazing people in my life.
Krisna is my cousin/big brother. He practically taught me how to think over 10 years of FaceTiming.
Sanika and I became besties over the internet. She is often the catalyst of my emotional growth.
Radhika and I are two peas in a pod. No one soaks-in life like her, but I'm a close second.
More people...Career Life
I've had roles as a PM and Dev, but really I love UX and systems. I like to get deep into the workings of something and push buttons using my technical and people skills to create results for users. Actions make things happen!
I build product with deep listening, group learning & attention to detail
In previous roles, I built products with lots of unknowns and united teams together to do it. I found that focusing on the learning cohesion of my team benefits productivity, enables more creative solutions and creates high team culture. It cemented my leadership and product management style.
