Akshay KatkadeEnterprise products where people decide under pressure, and the system behind the screen matters more than the screen.

I have 8+ years in enterprise and B2B SaaS design: ADP's payroll service tools, Shell's supply-chain planning through IBM iX, a design system for a Swiss private bank, and a 0→1 developer platform at ValueLabs. Before that, Infosys. My design foundation is from the National Institute of Design, which shaped how I approach both digital and physical experiences.

My work sits where users decide under time pressure, work through a complicated process, or handle exceptions. I look at the whole system: user goals, information architecture, business rules, operational reality and technical limits. Then I design patterns that scale instead of one-off screens.

I work closely with product managers, solution architects and developers. A lot of the job is finding out what a platform can actually build, then holding quality inside that limit.
