Hey again
I'm a Product Designer who actually speaks code. Currently completing my M.Sc. in Cybersecurity, I blend technical rigor with creative intuition to build scalable design systems and frontend interfaces that users can trust.

A little bit about me
I'm Keerat, a Product Designer & Developer based in Saarbrücken, Germany. I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of logic and creativity, which is why I love mixing frontend code with UI design. Currently finishing my Master's in Cybersecurity, I find it incredibly satisfying to take complex, secure systems and turn them into simple, friendly experiences for humans. I believe that safety shouldn't be complicated, and good design builds trust.
When I’m not in Figma or VS Code, I love to disconnect and explore. You can usually find me traveling to new cities in Europe, working on my photography or doing Calisthenics. I find that stepping away from the screen gives me the best perspective to solve problems when I come back to them.
Experience
Product Designer & Frontend Developer - 09/2024 - Present
From Pixels to Production. I joined as a designer and became a developer because I wanted to own the entire experience. My mission: transform Germany's top employee recognition platform by merging three legacy tools into one unified "Version 2.0." I designed a scalable system of 40+ components with full tokenization, gamified the experience with interactive modules, and then built it myself using React and TypeScript. Currently shipping the future of workplace recognition, one accessible, secure component at a time.
UI/UX Designer & Frontend Developer - 08/2024 - 11/2024
Rapid Prototyping, from Zero to Launch. In just 4 months, I took an ML-powered photo book concept and shipped a fully functional, user-friendly application. My role was end-to-end: I designed the entire interface from scratch in Figma, built the frontend with React, and integrated the Python backend. We had a tight 2-month delivery deadline, and I was central to ensuring we met it. This project was a high-speed masterclass in making complex AI feel simple.
Product Designer (Contract) - 03/2023 - 04/2024
Global Impact at Scale. I didn't just design the platform; I pitched the vision. Leading a team of 5, I built an e-learning ecosystem from zero to 50,000+ active students. We launched a secure authentication system and a robust CMS that is now used by 300 schools across 56 districts in the US and India. My role bridged product strategy, UI design, and frontend logic to create a tool that actually works in the classroom.
Software Development Intern - 06/2022 - 09/2022
Digital Infrastructure for Government. My foundation in secure, scalable engineering began here. I optimized core web services for the Ladakh Skill Development Mission (LSDM), re-engineering Python/Flask API endpoints to handle high-traffic loads. By focusing on performance and security, I reduced server load by 35% and ensured data integrity for mission-critical government platforms.
