Nandini Maheshwari

Namaste, I am Nandini and I work as a User Experience Designer with Cisco Systems in San Jose, California. I am responsible for the user experience of multiple Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) related products. Creating efficient design solutions, where the data and the constant flow of information must be visualized and structured in the UI in order to optimize the user experience for network professionals. My role includes giving higher importance to common design language and system to get consistency amongst all the ACI related applications. I work with UI developers and backend engineers for the best usability and effectiveness of the products while understanding technical limitations.

Back in 2011, I graduated with Bachelors in Electronics and Communication Engineering and worked as a Senior Software Engineer with Infosys Ltd for about three and a half years.

2016 was a turning point in my career. I realized that I am a creative enthusiast who gets fascinated by the thought of solving complex problems and the irony that the solution has to be simple. Hence, I got an opportunity to convert my passion into a job that I love and could pursue day and night. 💛

The transition was not easy but there were a lot of people along the way who helped me with this journey and made it successful.

I am really excited to help fellow UXers in this journey to get that first kick start in the real world by using my experiences and learning something new from them in the process.

Thank you The Mentoring Club for this opportunity to give back to the community. 😇
