About

Salman Chaudhri

Software designer

I'm an independent software designer using prototyping to help companies solve the right problems before they over-invest in the wrong ones.

Currently at Smartlane. Previously at Adaptive Lab and FutureGov. I'm also building Today Would Be Nice — a prototyping studio for early-stage products — and I founded Kickd, a social network for eFootball players.

My practice mixes product design, systems thinking, and hands-on building (including AI-assisted workflows in Cursor and Lovable). I care about clarity, honest constraints, and interfaces that respect how people actually work.
