# Abhijith Uppalapati > Product Designer at Meta | AI-native enterprise planning tools, 0-1 | Leading AI design practice for enterprise product teams and beyond! Location: San Jose, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/abhijith I am a Product Designer driven with the goal of designing elegant, simple, usable and delightful experiences. I believe that 'Design Thinking' should be the solution to a problem and the interface should only be the medium through which the problem is solved. In my free time, I watch movies, play video games and workout. I also like writing and theater. I joined Evergreen Valley College and took a theater course where we came up with our own original script and acted out our part at the end of the semester. ## Work Experience ### Product Designer @ Meta Jan 2025 – Present | Menlo Park, California, United States ### Lead Product Designer @ FICO Jan 2018 – Jan 2025 | San Jose, California, United States • Addressed platform gaps, accelerating app development by 50% for FICO developer tool. • Reduced the ticket resolution time by 8% for fraud agents by redesigning a data visualization feature to resolve fraudulent/duplicate identities. • Created the design system at FICO partnering with Branding & UX Engineering and drove adoption. • Reimagined the way insurance analysts interact with a Security Score FICO product and transitioned the experience from browser to toolbar reducing the time to quote an insurance premium. ### Sr. Product Designer @ McAfee Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | Santa Clara, California, United States • Redesigned the e-commerce front end and streamlined the checkout process, boosting conversion rates by 22%. • Spearheaded initiatives to enhance identity theft protection features. • Collaborated with branding teams to manage the transition from Intel to McAfee, redefining brand identity and user experience. • Partnered with diverse teams to ensure a smooth user transition through product and branding changes. • Launched a new PC Performance Product from 0-1, resulting in 100,000 downloads within the first month. ### Sr. Product Designer @ Intel Corporation Jan 2014 – Jan 2017 • Lead Interaction Designer for Intel Security's End Point Security Console • Introduced a Freemium Model and increased user retention by 40% • Worked with product managers and development team right from the ideation stage to delivery stage to implement new groundbreaking products for the company • Participated in user research and usability studies to gain real time feedback and implement in designs • Created interactive prototypes that were used in a massive usability test of over 500 participants ### Product Design Intern @ Citrix Jan 2013 – Jan 2013 | Santa Clara ​• Created wireframes and prototypes for multiple Citrix products • Conducted user research sessions and implemented the feedback obtained into the prototypes • Analyzed complicated workflows of multiple products and highlighted pain points & design flaws • Helped in deriving UX strategy for migration between two Citrix products ### Basketball Coach @ Evergreen Elementary School Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 | San Jose, CA I volunteer and teach elementary and middle school kids the basics of basketball and coach them. ### Associate Software Engineer @ Accenture Jan 2010 – Jan 2011 Was involved in the testing and delivery of the product ‘Microsoft Store’ utilizing various QA tools & testing tools. ## Education ### Master's degree in Human Computer Interaction San José State University ### Drama and Dramatics/Theatre Arts in General Evergreen Valley College ### Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering Vasavi College of Engineering ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/abhijith-uppalapati - Portfolio: https://www.figma.com/proto/2BfYhifE5blxMoCIPrYRQn/Abhijith-Uppalapati-Portfolio?node-id=352-33189&t=hU0BoqWYvyG1oZC2-1&scaling=scale-down-width&content-scaling=fixed&hide-ui=1 --- Source: https://flows.cv/abhijith JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/abhijith/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-13
