I live in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Over the years I've worked across industries and continents. Medical devices at TerumoBCT in Colorado, USA and Canon Medical Systems in Japan. Smart agriculture at Syngenta Digital in the UK. Enterprise software at GE Fleet in the USA. Each context was different, technically and culturally, but the work was always about building things that people use. Much of my career was spent in highly regulated environments where ambiguity is costly. That context shaped how I think about rigor and what it actually means to ship anything responsibly.

At Resmed RCS, my team built Lumina, a multi-brand design system that now serves over twenty product teams. The work turned out to be less about how things look and more about how the whole thing holds together when teams have different tools, different priorities, and different levels of expertise.

I'm still figuring parts of it out. Still learning.

If any of this resonates, I'd like to hear from you. Find me on LinkedIn or reach me at swanand.kalugade@gmail.com.
