# Niranjan Kshirsagar > Sr UX/ Product Designer (Ex-Caterpillar) Profile: https://flows.cv/niranjankshirsagar As a seasoned UX/Product Designer with over 8 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to creating intuitive, user-centered digital experiences that drive engagement and satisfaction. My journey in this field began with a Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), where I laid the foundation for my passion for design and usability. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working on diverse projects across various industries. At Smartz, I spearheaded redesigning a no-code/low-code platform, integrating AI to streamline app and website development, resulting in a remarkable 37% boost in efficiency. My tenure at TruckX was marked by tackling complex logistics challenges, where I optimized driver log displays and implemented a dispatcher feature that led to a 13% increase in user base. Additionally, I collaborated closely with C-level executives, effectively communicating design visions through sketches, wireframes, and interactive prototypes. At meShare, I worked hand-in-hand with data center engineers to deliver a product that enhanced their ability to monitor jobs running on data centers. I also contributed to developing an AI-driven marketing campaign tool, further showcasing my versatility and innovative approach to design. I am particularly proud of my ability to lead and mentor design teams, as demonstrated by my experience at TruckX where I hired and supervised a team of designers, balancing the need for both graphic and product design expertise. Looking forward, I am excited to continue pushing the boundaries of UX and Product Design. My career aspiration is to lead innovative projects that leverage cutting-edge technologies to solve real-world problems, enhance user experiences, and create value for businesses and their customers. ## Work Experience ### UX Designer II @ PixelIT Center Jan 2025 | Chicago, Illinois, United States End Client: Caterpillar • Led the end to-end design of Caterpillar’s Work Order feature, streamlining technician workflows and boosting monthly active users through scalable, user centric solution • Redesigned the Homepage of the primary product to provide a bird’s-eye view of individual features, with customizable drag-and-drop cards for a personalized experience ### Sr Product Designer @ Smartz Inc Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Chicago, Illinois, United States • Redesigned a No-code/Low-code Enterprise Management Platform by integrating an AI Chat Bot feature, establishing a clear vision for improvement, and guiding the team towards its achievement • Streamlined processes, empowered users to achieve their goals more efficiently, and reduced UI complexity by eliminating 40% of extraneous elements, thereby enhancing clarity and facilitating informed decision-making • Improved Project and Page creation workflows of a No-code/Low-code platform by incorporating an AI Chat Bot, user-centered design principles, and leveraging insights from user feedback and analytics tools such as LogRocket and FullStory, resulting in a 37% increase in overall efficiency • Accelerated task completion time by 67%, significantly streamlining user interactions and boosting productivity ### Sr Product Designer @ Vorto Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco Bay Area • Collaborated with CPO and engineers on company strategy to design solutions for high-impact problems faced by fleet managers and drivers; ensuring holistic design practices that support WCAG guidelines • User behavior analysis showed a 53% decrease in assistance calls, a 73% increase in user comfort, which led to an increase in on-time delivery by 68%, after the implementation of the Driver Training Program design ### Lead Product Designer @ TruckX Inc Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Sunnyvale, California, United States • While interacting with user groups during one of the trade shows, identified the challenges when it comes to assigning the loads to the drivers • For the identified problem, launch of the Dispatcher feature in the existing Fleet Management System of TruckX, led to a gain of 13% in new users after the launch ### Senior Product Designer @ TruckX Inc Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Mountain View, California, United States • Worked on improving task completion efficiency of the Driver App of TruckX by conducting usability testing studies with drivers and creating new designs, an implementation which resulted in a 61% reduction in task completion time and a 73% reduction in complaint rates ### UI-UX Designer @ meShare Inc.
