# Vinod Rajpurohit

> Designer and builder humanizing technology. Fourteen years in commerce and payments, currently leading design for checkout, growth, and AI at PayPal, based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Vinod Rajpurohit has spent fourteen years designing how the moment of payment
works, across three chapters: Chennai, Singapore, and San Francisco. Someone,
somewhere, is paying for something right now, and his homepage is a quiet living
portrait of that idea: a world clock of cities riding their own hours, a
simulated ledger of small human purchases in local currencies, and a coin you
can flick into a jar.

Outside of work he builds independent products and experiments, including Bolt
(an AI commerce copilot), HueKit (open-source OKLCH color tooling), Riff (an AI
collaborator for FigJam ideation), and Ember (a browser game played with your
breath).
