# Manideep Chinthireddy > Product Designer | AI-Powered Operations | $28M+ in Proven Savings Location: San Jose, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/manideepchinthireddy I learned early that most products don’t fail loudly. They fail quietly, by slowing people down when it matters most. Since then, I’ve focused my work on simplifying complex products: internal platforms, enterprise tools, and AI-assisted workflows where clarity matters more than novelty and decisions compound at scale. I start with direction first, understanding the system, the constraints, and the trade-offs. When that foundation is clear, execution and polish follow naturally. That’s where I’m known to be deliberate and detail-driven, especially in Figma. I believe good systems don’t replace people. They give them back time. 📩 mchinthi@umich.edu ## Work Experience ### Lead User Experience Designer @ Citi Jan 2024 – Present | United States - Led design for an AI-assisted support platform used by ~30,000 agents across multiple organizations. - Simplified complex workflows, cutting handling time by ~50% and improving first-contact resolution to ~75%. - The platform scaled across teams and contributed to ~$28M in annualized savings. - Worked closely with product, engineering, and AI teams to ensure reliability at scale. ### User Experience Designer @ Citi Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | United States - Designed a self-serve system that enabled business teams to create and manage AI agents independently. - Reduced manual dependency and helped drive ~$12M in savings within a single quarter. - Focused on clear guardrails and system clarity to support safe adoption across teams. ### Product Designer @ Fidelity Investments Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | United States - Designed AI-assisted workflows for regulated compliance processes where accuracy and speed both mattered. - Reduced end-to-end task time to under an hour while maintaining strong validation and error prevention. - Contributed to design system improvements that helped teams ship more consistently. ### Product Designer & Strategist @ Interstate Batteries Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | United States - Modernized a legacy operations platform by simplifying core workflows used by dealers and field teams. - Reduced workflow complexity by ~40% through research, iteration, and testing. - Designed mobile-first experiences that helped reduce delivery delays by ~30%. ### Product Designer @ Uber Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Hyderabad, Telangana, India - Owned multiple internal tools supporting large operational teams. - Redesigned a core internal application, improving efficiency by ~30% and increasing adoption. - Partnered closely with product and engineering across multiple release cycles. ### Associate User Experience Designer @ Nokia Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | Hyderabad, Telangana, India - Designed internal portals used by managers and cross-functional teams. - Improved engagement and reduced task friction through iterative usability testing. - Collaborated closely with developers to ensure smooth handoffs and delivery. ### Frontend Developer @ Accenture Jan 2016 – Jan 2018 | Hyderabad, Telangana, India - Worked on large-scale enterprise applications as part of cross-functional delivery teams. - Improved front-end performance and reliability through modular, reusable components. - Collaborated closely with designers and engineers, which shaped my foundation in building systems, not just screens. ## Education ### Master's degree in Human Centered Design and Engineering University of Michigan-Dearborn ### Bachelor's degree in Information Technology Sri Indu College Of Engineering & Technology ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/manideepchinthireddy - Portfolio: https://manideepch.framer.website/ --- Source: https://flows.cv/manideepchinthireddy JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/manideepchinthireddy/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-13
