Engineer by training, designer by heart.

Portrait of Sriram BodavulaSriram Bodavula · Hyderabad, India

I’ve sat on both sides of the handoff — and now I don’t need one.

I’m Sriram Bodavula, a designer in Hyderabad. I studied computer science and started in 2018 as a software engineer at IBaseIT, turning designs into responsive websites and designing a few of them myself.

Over time I cared most about the questions that come before the code, so I moved into UI/UX design: Figma screens for web apps, dashboards and mobile apps, which I could also build in Angular. Today, AI coding tools let me combine both careers. I design a product, then build a working version of it myself, fast enough to learn from real users in days instead of quarters.

The journey

Three chapters
  1. 012018 — 2021

    Software Engineer

    IBaseIT, Hyderabad

    Turned PSD, InVision and Figma designs into responsive websites with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Bootstrap, and designed some of them myself, like Ramopc’s logo and site and Rawtrade’s website.

    What it gave meClean front-end craft, and a feel for what is easy or hard to build.

  2. 022021 — 2025

    UI/UX Designer

    IBaseIT and client teams

    Moved into design: screens in Figma for products like QATTS (a cloud test-automation platform) that I then built as components in Angular, Envoy’s mobile app in Ionic, and dashboards, apps and sites for Arrowstream, 3Degrees, Union 360, Bdazlai and Warranty Direct. Later, the logo, website and app for iCertify and DocsCrate.

    What it gave meProduct thinking, interaction craft, and designs engineers can actually build.

  3. 032025 — Now

    Designer who builds with AI

    Independent

    AI coding tools closed the gap between my two careers. Today I design a product and build a working version of it myself, like IBaseIT’s new logo and website, so ideas get tested in days, not quarters.

    What it gave meSpeed, ownership from idea to launch, and a lot of fun.

What I believe

Principles

  • Taste is the moat

    Anyone can generate an interface now. The value is knowing which one is right, and why.

  • Real beats rendered

    A working prototype with real data teaches more in a day than a month of static mockups.

  • Engineer’s empathy

    I design things that can actually be built, and I know where the edges are.

  • Ship, then sharpen

    Get something real in front of people quickly, then obsess over the details that matter.
