Hello! My name is Aditya Jain. Welcome to my handcrafted playground on the web.
I am an award-winning design engineer with a deep background in frontend engineering, data visualization, and rapid-prototyping. I hold a Master’s degree from NYU’s ITP Program.
In the past I have had the privilege of working with the wonderful people at
I was born and raised in New Delhi, and now live in the concrete jungle of New York City with my spotted
cow dog, Eleanor. She's a handful.
I grew up with computers and in many ways consider myself to be a child of the pre-social media internet (I spent a lot of time on Wikipedia)
While in college I discovered a love for Art & Design, and decided to pursue them along with my educaton in Computer Science. I spent most of my early career specializing in Data Visualization and Interactive Design, utilizing low-level web technologies to build highly performant web experiences.




In my free time I like observing and learning about the different systems and institutions that affect the human experience, from hard infrastructure to interest rates. I want to know more about this petri dish that I exist within, and better understand how socio-economic conditions affect the world around me.
I also think its just kinda fun, yknow? This section is about fun. Here is a little heatmap of the S&P500 companies today, sized by market cap, with labels for companies with a market cap greater than $300 billion.
I am also a watch nerd, and have been learning how to make my own mechanical watches with a little help from watch kits that you can buy from Alibaba. Sometimes I design dials with code. Working in a small universe and getting lost in tiny details is a great way to relax.
