Hey! I’m Arun
I'm a product designer, engineer, photographer, and writer.
Currently, I'm the founding product designer at Miter.
Formerly, I was co-founder and product designer at Carrot Fertility, offering fertility benefits to Discord, NBA, Netflix, Spotify, Stripe, Zoom and more. I have also worked at other startups.
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 kids, run and bike and take photographs.
