Spent today revisiting UI/UX basics and realized most “design” problems aren’t visual, they’re cognitive.
If users have to think, we’ve already failed
Clarity beats cleverness. Always!

I paused my main project for a month due to exam prep and burnout.

Coming back, I decided to finish what I started instead of abandoning it again for repetitive errors.

This time, slow and intentional. Let's see how this goes, Will update tomorrow!

Lately, I’ve been working at two ends of product building.

Security-focused web systems with zero-knowledge architecture.

And UI/UX redesign, studying how security constraints affect real user flows.

I'll keep posting!

Starting the year with clarity, not pressure.

I’m learning by building real things, slowly and intentionally.
Security-focused product engineering.
UI/UX that respects users.

Will share what I learn as I go.

Hello, I’m Kalyan Tamarapalli.

I work at the intersection of product engineering, application security, and UI and UX design.

I’d be glad to connect with developers, designers, and people building real things in tech.

I’ll mostly share what I’m learning and building.
