About Mahesh V
Hi, I’m Mahesh — a Human-AI Interaction Designer on a mission to shape technology that’s useful, ethical, and deeply human.I’m endlessly curious about how people think, decide, and interact and equally curious about how AI models think and respond. I love turning that insight into products that feel intuitive, helpful, and intelligent. I\'m happiest when I\'m learning, building, or in deep conversation.With 9+ years at the intersection of UX, behavioral science, and emerging tech, I design systems where humans and tech (including AI) work together meaningfully. I am my best at growth design, Human-AI design and connecting the interdisciplinary dots. My past work spans multiple domains — including retail, insurance, cybersecurity, fintech, SaaS optimizing adoption, conversion, and trust.I have a Bachelor’s in Computer Science Engineering.I also hold a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction from the UoY, UK, focusing on AI-UX research.I am host of “Designing AI for Humans,” a solo podcast about how AI models shape behaviour, trust, and everyday product experiences — and how we can turn those insights into practical design decisions for teams building the future of AI. Check on Spotify and YouTube.I wrote research papers/did research in 2022-23 on- GPT-4 & Falcon LLMs usage in education, focusing on Human-AI conversational interactions and trust- The ethics of hyper-personalized content on the Netflix platform- Predicting user personality through conversational cues in LLMsOutside company work, I build and experiment- UX-GPT: An end-to-end UX assistant powered by AI, from problem to UX design- Portfolio-GPT: A conversational portfolio that talks you through my workA few things I’m proud of- Won a global hackathon and earned multiple awards for innovation and collaboration within the companies I worked- One of my UX articles reached 25K+ readers and my articles are featured in top design publications such as UX Collective, Prototypr, and UX Planet– Invited to OpenAI’s first Dev Day conference with a sponsored ticketI lead with curiosity, systems thinking, and emotional intelligence. I ask how, why and what if until the product makes sense — to users, business, and society.Outside work, you’ll find me tinkering with AI tools, exploring neuro-symbolic AI, hosting my podcast, or just recharging with a good movie and nature treks.Let’s connect if you’re building human-centered AI systems, chatting about movies, or just love deep conversations on tech and humanity.
