Why does this have to be so difficult?" That's usually where I come in.

about me

Hi, I'm Raj.
My path into product wasn't traditional.

I've launched businesses, worked at fast-growing startups, partnered with enterprise customers, and managed multimillion-dollar construction projects. Along the way, I've gained experience across hospitality, technology, retail, food, and construction—industries that taught me to see the same problem through very different perspectives.

Across every role, I kept asking the same question: How can we make this simpler?

Today, I build products and AI-powered experiences that transform complexity into intuitive solutions people genuinely enjoy using. I believe the best ideas come from connecting insights across industries to create products that deliver meaningful value for the people who use them.

I use photography to keep moments alive and connect the past, present, and future. I capture intimate events and specialize in travel photography, preserving the people, places, and stories I want others to remember.

Client Impressions

“Working with Raj was an amazing experience. He made the entire photoshoot feel comfortable, professional, and fun from start to finish. The quality of the photos was incredible, and I really appreciated the attention to detail in every shot. I especially loved being able to do a traditional outfit shoot, Raj captured the look and culture beautifully. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for creative and high quality photography!”

“Raja and I had such a great session with you! Even though the light was basically not in our favor, you did your absolute best to make sure we got the pictures we hoped for. You were fun and easy to work with, and I know you’ll only go up from here. Thanks so much again for spending time with us last summer! Can’t wait to hopefully do another session soon! 🥰”
