    paper Inventory Management Syatem - SaaS Application
    IMS (Inventory Management System) was built from scratch to track set-top boxes and accessories across their lifecycle. The challenge was chaos, devices moved through purchases, warehouses, local operators, and repairs without a clear trail, leading to losses and inefficiencies. I designed a lifecycle-based flow with challan (handover documents), purchase-to-install tracking, and system integrations. The result: transparency, accountability, and streamlined inventory control. userresearch uxdesign uidesign saasproductdesign
    paper Elixir Master -Internal Application (Financial Service Company)
    Elixir Master is a desktop platform I designed to unify workflows at a professional services firm managing tax and compliance. The challenge? Their operations were scattered across spreadsheets, chat threads, and disconnected tools. Teams struggled with tasks, files, and client communication in silos, losing time and clarity. I designed a centralized system with role-based access, smart task flows, AI-assisted file management, and integrations like WhatsApp and Teams. The result was a seamless hub that reduced friction, cut search time, and gave teams complete clarity. SaaSdesigner Uxdesigner Uidesigner
