In other words, these factors can simply make or break the product in these increasingly competitive environments. They are the ‘User Experience’ (UX) and the ‘User Interface’ (UI) parameters. While UX primarily deals with the fundamental workflow design of the software application and the resultant, overall user experience, UI is connected to the designing and the visual aesthetics of interface elements through which a user can use or interact with the application.

Hi, Welcome to my writing portfolio link page. Here you can find links to my various past writing works. I have primarily created this link page for the simple reason that in some google forms that are meant for job applications, we are required to provide multiple links (for our work samples) in a single field that doesn't allow the 'Enter' function (multiple lines) to work. Hope you enjoy reading my works and I really appreciate your valuable time.
