Product Design / AI / iOS
Hi, I'm Prabhakaran. Lead Product Designer and indie builder in Chennai.
I'm a product designer who writes code. Most days I'm at SuperOps, building tools MSP teams actually want to use. Product strategy, interaction design, getting into the weeds with engineering to ship things that hold up.
Nights and weekends: iOS apps. I've shipped a few to the App Store. I also mess around with LLMs, agent workflows, and open source tools. Less interested in AI demos, more in stuff that actually works.
About
Designer who also builds.
I've been designing for a while. Started in graphic design, moved through web, landed in product. About 10+ years across SuperOps, Subex, IndiaProperty, and Fantain. Same thread throughout: take something messy and make it make sense.
These days: B2B SaaS workflows at SuperOps. On the side I explore how AI agents should interact with people (honestly, nobody's figured this out yet), and I ship SwiftUI apps when there's something worth shipping.
The stuff I geek out on: information architecture that stays out of the way. Empty states that don't look broken. Onboarding that feels like one smooth motion. Localization done properly. Design systems engineers actually use. The small decisions, the ones nobody notices unless they're wrong.
What I work on
Design, code, ship.
B2B SaaS & IT Ops
MSP workflows at SuperOps. Patch management, monitoring, ticketing. Making the complex stuff feel straightforward.
AI Product Experiences
How do agents talk to humans? Interfaces for LLM workflows, automation with guardrails, and keeping people in the loop when it matters.
Mobile Apps
SwiftUI on the App Store. In-app purchases, subscriptions, the whole release pipeline. I enjoy the constraints of mobile. You can't just keep adding buttons.
Design Systems
Systems that engineers don't hate. Patterns that scale without turning into a straightjacket.
Prototyping
I prototype in code, not slides. APIs, open-source models, whatever gets the idea working fast enough to test.
Developer Collaboration
I ship with engineers, not at them. Specs, prototypes, docs, and the kind of back-and-forth that catches problems before they ship.
In one line
Lead Product Designer at SuperOps. I design AI-native SaaS for MSP teams. After hours: iOS apps, agent experiments, and whatever else seems worth building.
Let's talk
Thoughtful conversations welcome.
