Bold. Purposeful. Impactful.
Hi! My name is Yajur Sood. I graduated from Arizona State University with a master’s degree in User Experience. I have 3+ years of professional experience in UI/UX design and software development. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology from the University of Mumbai.
I am passionate about changing the world for the better. I believe in the power of technology and art. I am also interested in the ethical use of technology and write about it on my blog “On the Ethics of Tech”.
I like to play sports and video games in my free time. I also like to read and learn new things, and move on from them just as quickly. I like painting, drawing and exploring new music and indie games.

Job Applications Counter
Let’s have some fun while we are all here. As a grad student, job applications are a normal part of life but it still causes uncertainty and anxiety among students. This is not a number that needs to be kept hidden. If you see this number and feel bad, then we have some work to do in improving the job application system for future students. If you see this number and feel good, then you are probably my peer who has applied to twice as many jobs, so congratulations to you and I will catch up to you, slowly but surely! But most importantly, all international students are in this together. Let’s keep our spirits up and help each other!
