<h5 class="no-scroll">Why programming?</h5>
<blockquote class="no-scroll">
Programmers are not coders who solve problems.
Programmers are problem solvers who write code.
</blockquote>
<br />
For me, programming is not just about writing code;
it's about being a problem solver. Coding just
happens to be the medium through which I solve
problems. I love the challenge of taking a complex
problem and breaking it down into smaller, more
manageable pieces. I enjoy the process of designing
elegant solutions and seeing them come to life in
the form of working software. Programming allows me
to be creative, analytical, and logical all at the
same time. It's a field that constantly challenges
me to learn and grow, and I find that incredibly
rewarding.
<br />
<br />
I've wanted to become a software developer for as
long as I can remember. While growing up, I was
obsessed with computers and wanted to create my own
one day. In high school, I excelled in classes like
math and physics, which reassured me that becoming a
software developer was the right career choice for
me. Problem solving is something which comes
naturally to me. I have an innate skill to look at
any problem from different perspectives and come up
with ingenious solutions.
<br />
<br />

The journey through the Design Studio in
HCI course at Emory University has been
a transformative exploration of design,
deeply rooted in human-centered
principles and enriched by a structured,
methodical approach to innovation. This
manifesto outlines how these experiences
have reshaped my design philosophy,
emphasizing practical frameworks and
methodologies that have become integral
to my approach.
<br />
<br />
<span class="strong-text">Embracing the Five Steps of Design
Thinking</span>
<br />
The framework of the five steps of
design thinking—Empathize, Define,
Ideate, Prototype, and Test—has been
foundational in my development as a
designer. Each project challenged us to
immerly engage with these phases,
starting with deep empathy to truly
understand the user's world. For
instance, during our prototyping
assignments, the emphasis was not just
on creating functional models but on
iterating these prototypes based on real
user feedback, ensuring that the final
designs were both intuitive and
impactful.
<br />
<br />
<span class="strong-text">Utilizing "How Might We"
Statements</span>
<br />
The course introduced the power of "How
Might We" (HMW) statements as a tool to
open up ideation sessions and foster
innovative thinking. These statements
transformed the way I approach
problem-solving, helping to frame
challenges as opportunities for design.
In group brainstorming sessions, we used
HMW statements to pivot our thinking
towards more creative and user-focused
solutions, leading to more dynamic and
diverse design outcomes.
<br />
<br />
<span class="strong-text">Crafting Point of View
Statements</span>
<br />
Point of View (POV) statements have been
crucial in defining the direction and
scope of our design projects. By
articulating a clear POV for each
project, based on our user research, I
learned to align the design process with
the specific needs and motivations of
our target users. This practice not only
sharpened my analytical skills but also
ensured that the solutions we developed
were closely tailored to address real
user concerns.
<br />
<br />
<span class="strong-text">Influence of Design Sprints on my Design Thinking
Process</span>
<br />
For the first design sprint, my group and I redesigned the Atlanta airport website
to enhance accessibility and
aesthetics. This project underscored the importance of empathy in design
thinking, where we started with
understanding the diverse needs of all users, including those with disabilities. We
put a special emphasis on creating a
user-friendly interface that was
intuitive and easy to navigate, ensuring that all users could access the
information they needed. Designing for different screens and devices was also very
fun. Since this design sprint was still pretty early in the course, I do not think I
applied all the principles and guidelines as accurately as I could have, but it was
important for foundation building.
<br />
<br />
For the second design sprint, my group and I combined data visualization
with interactive elements, to create a digital experience to help users understand
the
cost of living in Atlanta. By integrating real-world data into graphs and a
simulation game, users could interactively
see how daily expenses add up. This project taught me the value of interactive
design and gamification in educational
tools, making abstract data more tangible and relatable. I also learned how to
balance aesthetics with functionality, creating a visually engaging experience that
was also informative and easy to use.
<br />
<br />
For the third design sprint, my group and I tackled a new challenge, designing a VR
world. This is probably the first design sprint where I thoroughly applied the five
steps of design thinking. We created a virtual world where users could walk through
a museum of illusions. This project demonstrated the
importance of designing immersive
environments that are both engaging and intuitive. It challenged my preconceptions
about user interaction in
three-dimensional spaces and the need for intuitive navigational aids in VR
environments. I feel since this challenge was new to me, it was slightly harder to
follow the design thinking principle, since I did not know what I was looking for,
or what would work, or even the capabilities of the technologies I was working with.
It was challenging, but interesting to work on this design sprint, however!
<br />
<br />
For the last design sprint, my group and I extended the Atlanta expenses project
into a monopoly game. I felt I was able to apply all the principles and guidelines I
had learned in the course to this project. We created a fun and engaging game that
not only educated users about the cost of living in Atlanta but also challenged them
to make strategic decisions about their finances. This project was a culmination of
all the skills and knowledge I had acquired throughout the course, from user
research and empathy to prototyping and testing. It was a rewarding experience to
see how our design evolved from a simple data visualization tool to a fully
interactive game that combined education with entertainment. I felt that this
project was a testament to the power of design thinking and the impact it can have
on creating meaningful user experiences.
<br />
<br />
<span class="strong-text">Learning through Peer Feedback and
Collaboration</span>
<br />
The structured critiques, using
frameworks like "I Like, I Wish, What
If," fostered a reflective and
collaborative classroom environment.
This approach not only enhanced my
ability to give and receive constructive
feedback but also deepened my
understanding of diverse design
perspectives, which is essential in the
field of HCI.
<br />
<br />
<span class="strong-text">Advocating for Ethical and
Accessible Design</span>
<br />
Throughout the course, the importance of
ethical considerations and the need for
accessible design were emphasized. We
explored various ethical frameworks and
accessibility guidelines, which now
guide my design decisions, ensuring that
my work is inclusive and responsible.
<br />
<br />
<span class="strong-text">Preparing for the Future of
HCI</span>
<br />
The course also provided insights into
emerging technologies and the future of
HCI, encouraging us to think ahead and
consider how current trends might
evolve. This forward-looking perspective
has inspired me to continually adapt and
be proactive in my learning and
professional development. In conclusion,
the Design Studio in HCI has profoundly
shaped my approach to design, instilling
a deep commitment to human-centered
principles and a structured methodology
that I will carry forward into all my
future endeavors. As I continue to
explore and innovate within the field of
HCI, I am equipped with a robust toolkit
of design thinking strategies, ready to
tackle complex challenges and create
meaningful solutions that enhance user
experiences.

Aditya worked with us as a fullstack
engineering intern and built our user public
profile pages and picked up a few smaller
projects as well. He is a quick learner and
a fast executor. He started contributing
from day 1 without any background in React,
Express, and MySQL before that. He is a
strong communicator and asks the right
questions to get unblocked and progress. I'm
sure he would do impactful work wherever he
joins and would be a great addition to the
team/company.

<q>
Aditya is a great Software Engineer. At
workat.tech, he distinguished himself by
consistently developing exceptionally
well-engineered products. As an intern, he
has worked on developing the public profile
page along with other projects. He
demonstrated exemplary problem-solving
skills and was always ready to pick up
additional responsibilities. In addition to
being an excellent communicator, he is a
fast learner who displayed a keen eagerness
to study new technologies. From day 1, he
showed this ability by contributing and
learning on the fly, even though he had no
prior experience in some of the frameworks
we used. Aditya is a pleasure to work with
and I am positive that he would be a great
asset to any team. I would strongly
recommend him.
