Hello.I’m Irshad Ahamed.
B.Sc. Chemistry at Madras University, then a multimedia course in 2004. I started as a web designer at Samsys in 2007, designing interfaces and writing the front-end myself.
Eight years at Aspire Systems followed, on web and mobile apps for global clients.
From 2020 I spent five years on enterprise tools for International Flavors & Fragrances. Flavor and fragrance work has its own vocabulary and its own logic. The degree helped me follow the conversation.
I start with the people doing the job. I prototype early and keep testing until a complicated workflow holds up in front of them.
I give design reviews the way I like to get them: specific and kind.
