Profile: https://flows.cv/rahuljain

I'm a Product Design Lead at Netflix, focused on building the next-gen entertainment and advertising platform. Before this, I worked at Google, revamping core experiences for billions of users on products like Gmail, Drive, and Meet. My other notable work includes building dev tools for YouTube ads, crafting core features for cloud gaming platform 'Stadia,' and designing innovative concepts for autonomous vehicles at IDEO + Ford Labs.

Having been deeply immersed in the design space for 10+ years, I bring a unique perspective and experience across both startup and enterprise settings. My passion for design is driven by curiosity, systems thinking, and a knack for telling compelling stories. In addition to my work, I'm passionate about advising startups, mentoring designers, watching sci-fi shows, and finding last-minute adventures.
