Apurv Rayate

Software Developer, Helsinki, Finland

I am currently completing my Masters in New Media at the Aalto Media Lab in Finland. I make apps, games and data visualizations primarily using React, Unity and generative AI tools. I specialise in systems thinking, rapid prototyping and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Most recently at Mastercard, I focused on building internal tools and data dashboards; simplifying decision making for non-technical staff and customers and prototyped the use of AI in analysing and presenting complex financial data to stakeholders.

Outside of work, you can find me playing Pokemon Go, taking long walks in the rain or having weird conversations with ChatGPT.
