About Me

Hi I am Pranav Mujumdar :wave:,
I am a UX Engineer, I write code in ReactJS and Django for my work at Addgene, and as a member of the product team I work on various design projects to create mock-ups and wireframes using Figma. My evenings are spent cooking and practicing guitar. On weekends, you’ll find me one-wheeling around Jamaica Plain or in an improv session if there is one nearby.
