Product Design Prototype Case Study Data Storytelling

A "Spotify Wrapped" for Kindle — a 10-slide, swipeable annual reading recap that turns the data Kindle already logs into a shareable story: your reading personality, habits, genres, and highlight moments.

The Opportunity
  • Kindle logs everything readers do but never reflects it back to them in a form worth sharing
  • Framed an annual recap as a low-lift engagement and word-of-mouth loop on top of existing infrastructure
What I Designed
  • A 10-slide swipeable narrative revealing reading personality, habits, and genre preferences
  • Data visualization of highlight patterns, shipped as an interactive prototype plus a full case study

About

I'm Mylie! A product enthusiast with a data scientist's brain, who cares more about whether something solves a real problem than whether it ships with the trendiest tech. (Though I do still love a good new framework.)

I think in users, outcomes, and the "why" behind the build and not just the how. That instinct started with noticing patterns: in the way people make day to day decisions. Data science felt like getting paid to solve those puzzles, especially the ones involving recommendation systems, personalization, and human behavior.

I just wrapped up my Masters in Data Science, and my curiosity lives at the intersection of AI and domains like media, ad tech, travel, e-comm, fintech, and healthtech ; industries where data-backed products can actually move the needle. The best AI, I think, is the kind you don't even notice; it just makes things work better.

My ultimate goal is to build my own startup, but before that, I want to explore and work across different industries to find the real gap worth solving. (Though that doesn't stop me from cooking up a new startup idea every 1km of my run.)

Mylie Mudaliyar hi 👋 tap for quick facts ↻

Quick facts

  • 📍 Based in Hoboken, NJ — happy to relocate for the right role
  • 🏃‍♀️ Trying not to let running become her whole personality (training for a half marathon like every other 20yr old)
  • 🍳 Experimental cook — some things work, many don't (flatmate can confirm)
  • 💡 Will judge your "AI powered/vibe coded projects" (but nicely, and with suggestions)
  • 🤷‍♀️ A/B test everything — humans are surprisingly unpredictable
