I lead engineering teams to deliver scalable SaaS with React, Next.js, and measurable Agile outcomes.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Engineering Manager and Lead Frontend Developer with 17+ years of experience delivering scalable SaaS platforms and bridging technical execution with business strategy. I’ve owned the full SDLC—from sprint planning and backlog grooming to production releases and post-deployment monitoring.
I lead cross-functional Agile teams and drive measurable outcomes, including 30% faster sprint velocity, 35% cost reduction, and $2M+ in incremental revenue. I’m hands-on with React, Next.js, and TypeScript while mentoring engineers, unblocking teams, and enforcing quality through code reviews and PR merges.
At Ascendeum, I manage 15+ frontend engineers and guided an Agile transformation across 3 product squads as Scrum Master. I’ve architected micro frontend systems, modernized legacy stacks to React + TypeScript, integrated ChatGPT-powered UI features, and built CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment time from hours to under 15 minutes.
