01Selected work
Banking, mobility, sport and DeFi: research through launch. A few favourites; plenty more sits behind NDAs, so ask.

Banking
Global Money and the next generation of HSBC's banking app. Launched 2020, 1.3M+ customers by 2023.

DeFi
Mars Protocol's credit accounts and trading UX: $350M peak TVL, 1.5M+ transactions on v1.

Fan Engagement
Head of Product for a fantasy platform aimed at Saudi Pro League fans: strategy, design system and the SwiftUI build.

Fantasy Sports
Real-time fantasy football designed and shipped in four months, acquired by GameOn in 2022.

Mobility
A driver companion for connected trucks: pre-trip checks, routes and vehicle data in one place.

DeFi
Interfaces for cross-chain DeFi operations. Case study in the works.
02The lab
Self-initiated hardware and software: robots, plasma, machine learning. Built nights and weekends, documented honestly · including what didn't work.

Robotics
A mobile manipulator built from extrusion, 3D prints and SO101 arms, trained on synthetic data from Isaac Sim. An ongoing build series.

Plasma Physics
Electroaerodynamic propulsion on a workbench: high-voltage rigs, Schlieren imaging and milligram-scale thrust measurement.

Robotics
Titan, a 3D-printed rover platform: SLA prints, LiDAR and radar experiments in autonomous sensing.

Machine Learning
A model that drafts and manages a Fantasy Premier League squad: feature engineering on player data, optimised weekly transfers.
03About
I'm Rittim Nandi, currently a creative technologist at Christie's, building immersive 3D auction experiences and the tooling behind them. Before that: over a decade designing digital products for banks, sports startups and DeFi protocols, including HSBC's Global Money and Mars Protocol.
I work end to end. Research, information architecture, interface design and design systems on one side; SwiftUI, React and Python on the other.
I think deeply about AI as a material, not a feature. I design and build conversational interfaces, tool-calling and agentic loops, and RAG systems grounded in real sources. At HCL I built AI Canvas, an enterprise product that turns documents and stakeholder input into business canvases, BRDs and PRDs, with citations and confidence scoring keeping every output honest.
The lab work is where I push myself: I'm currently building TRLC-DK1, a mobile home robot: electronics, 3D-printed parts, SLAM, teleoperation and synthetic training data in Isaac Sim. I document the whole thing, failures included, in the robotics series.
