Hey! I’m Arun
I'm a product designer, engineer, photographer, and writer.
I was most recently co-founder and product designer at Carrot Fertility, a company offering fertility and family forming benefits to industry leaders like Discord, NBA, Netflix, Spotify, Stripe, and Zoom.
Before that I’ve worked as a designer and engineer at other startups, usually beginning at an early stage.
I'm an alumnus of Columbia University and the South Park Commons.
On weekends, I write this blog and newsletter, travel with my wife and kid, run and bike and take photographs.
