// about

Full ownership, frontend-first.

Full-stack engineer with a frontend-heavy focus and 7 years building and shipping scalable, high-performance web applications end-to-end. Strongest across the frontend — React, Next.js, and TypeScript — with full ownership of the delivery pipeline (Docker, GitLab CI/CD, GCP) and backend development across the MERN stack (Node.js, Express, MongoDB).

I own the complete software development lifecycle from system design and implementation through testing, deployment, and production operations. Track record of leading engineering teams, building products from the ground up, improving Core Web Vitals by up to 50%, and lifting test coverage from 22% to 72% for U.S. and Australian markets.

End-to-end ownership: system design → testing → deploy → production ops
Core Web Vitals improved by up to 50%; Lighthouse held at 90+

Post-quantum cryptography · Bengaluru

  • Own the full software development lifecycle for 3 web products built in React, Next.js, and TypeScript — from system design and implementation through testing, deployment, and production operations.
  • Build and own Dockerized GitLab CI/CD pipelines and GCP deployments, standardizing build, test, and release workflows across all 3 products.
  • Architected reusable component and design systems adopted across all 3 products, accelerating feature delivery and enforcing UI consistency.
  • Improved Core Web Vitals across key pages — reduced LCP from 3.8s to 1.9s, brought CLS below 0.1, and held Lighthouse performance at 90+.
  • Established code-review and unit-test standards (75%+ coverage) and integrated automated regression testing into CI, reducing recurring production defects and improving release reliability.
  • Mentor engineers through structured code reviews and pair programming, and partner with backend, product, and QA teams to ship reliable releases monitored via Sentry.

Senior Software Engineer · AntWalk

July 2020 – March 2025

Enterprise SaaS · 50+ clients

  • Architected a library of 40+ reusable React, Next.js, and TypeScript components, cutting feature-development time ~35% and ensuring design consistency across the product.
  • Led a 6-engineer team building the core SaaS platform for 50+ enterprise clients, owning system design, implementation, testing, and deployment across 12+ major releases.
  • Defined and integrated API contracts for 20+ endpoints with backend teams, reducing integration bugs ~25% through contract-driven development and shared OpenAPI documentation.
  • Optimized performance via lazy loading, critical CSS extraction, and WebP/AVIF image optimization, reducing average page load time ~40% and improving Lighthouse score from 62 to 88.
  • Increased unit-test coverage from 22% to 72% (Jest, React Testing Library) and ran 500+ code reviews, establishing engineering standards adopted across the team.
  • Built feature-flag (LaunchDarkly, Split) and A/B-testing frameworks across 8+ experiments, enabling data-driven product decisions.
