Résumé
The whole story, on one page
Sahil PatilDesign Engineer
I'm a designer who loves building things, exploring new ideas and turning them into real, working products. I'm naturally curious and enjoy figuring things out, experimenting with design and code, and learning along the way.
Work experience
nudgebeeAI agentic startup
Design EngineerJan 2025 – Presentcurrent role
Designed the AI assistant end to endDesign
The conversation surface (streaming answers, visible agent steps, citations back into the work, nested task drawers), a chat available from every page and the memory experience where users can read, edit, pin and delete what the assistant has learned, with provenance on every row.
Designed the automation workflow builderDesign
Node anatomy and states across a canvas of several hundred action types, branching and connector behaviour, execution and trigger visibility, and four ways to author an automation, because a single on-ramp is what kills adoption of a builder. Shipped with a testing path so nothing reaches production unrehearsed.
Owned the design systemDesign + Code
The product's design language across ~250 screens: the component set, the colour, spacing and type scales, and ~50 written rules for choosing between overlapping components, because drift came from two reasonable people making opposite calls rather than from carelessness. Authored the library and migrated the product onto it with three engineers.
Designed the incident flow end to endDesign
Designed and implemented the alert, triage, investigation and resolution experience. Reframed triage around what was handled, what repeated and what still needed a person; structured investigation into four question-led tabs, supported by ~69 evidence card types and clear outcome states.
Designed first-run onboardingDesign + Code
Designed and built a guided Setup Center that takes new tenants beyond initial account connection, helping them configure the required integrations and services needed to make the platform fully functional.
Product DesignerOct 2023 – Dec 2024
Product architecture and design-system foundations

Monitoring and dashboards
Designed dashboard editing, panel configuration, query metrics, PromQL builder, service maps and log-viewing experiences.
