Building useful software.
Understanding the people who use it.

Yash Chaudhari IT Undergrad @ NMIMS MPSTME Java • Spring Boot • React.js

I’m an IT undergraduate and developer interested in full-stack engineering, distributed systems, and real-world user research. I build applications with technical rigor, explore how people interact with technology, and design digital experiences that feel intuitive, clear, and reliable.

My approach: Code must be technically robust, but great software only happens when we observe where real users hesitate, question, and get value.

01 · BACKGROUND & PHILOSOPHY

Crafting systems that work.
Thinking through how people use them.

I am an Information Technology undergraduate at SVKM's NMIMS Mukesh Patel School of Technology Management & Engineering (2024–2027), previously completing my Diploma in Computer Science & Engineering from R. C. Patel Polytechnic with 86.80% distinction.

My development foundation spans building full-stack platforms, engineering backend APIs, designing relational and document database schemas, and working with distributed systems. During my Web Developer Trainee tenure at NPIT Solutions in Nashik, I implemented real-world frontend components, integrated backend REST endpoints, and verified software quality.

"A system can have 100% test coverage and pristine backend logic, yet still fail if the user stumbles at the third step. Engineering excellence requires empathy for real human behavior."

What sets my perspective apart is an ongoing habit since 2024 of participating in real-world user research studies. Testing early prototypes, reporting confusing friction points, and completing multi-day diary studies has taught me to write software that anticipates misunderstandings before code ever reaches production.

03 · HUMAN-CENTERED PERSPECTIVE

Beyond building products,
I study how people experience them.

Since 2024, I’ve actively participated in real-world user research across usability tests, 1:1 moderated interviews, longitudinal diary studies, and AI product evaluations.

Experiencing products as an observant participant transformed how I engineer software. I don't just ask "does this function compile?"—I ask "where will a user hesitate, what assumptions are we making, and does this screen earn trust?"

ACTIVE RESEARCH HABIT SINCE 2024
“Every study is a chance to make a product a little easier to understand.”

My 4 Participant Principles for Clearer Software

01

Observe Before Judging

Record exactly what happened and where friction arose before concluding whether a feature is good or bad.

02

Explain the "Why"

Always tie an action or hesitation to an unmet expectation, missing context, or misleading visual cue.

03

Separate Taste from Usability

Personal aesthetic preference is distinct from interaction blockers that impede other users.

04

Respect the Research Context

Follow testing guidelines, deadline commitments, confidentiality protocols, and researcher prompts.
