I’m looking for a role where I can lead front-end architecture for Web Applications, Web sites, portal, cloud-native products—using micro-frontends, contract-first APIs, and help teams ship faster, reduce integration friction, and turn complex systems into clear user workflows.

Software Architect specializing in UI engineering and micro-frontend platforms for cloud-native enterprise systems.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Software Architect with 27+ years building enterprise-scale web, mobile, and cloud-native platforms across network virtualization, cybersecurity, and avionics domains. At Mesh7 (VMware), I led front-end architecture for Tanzu Service Mesh, unifying microservices visibility across 1,000+ distributed environments with a production-grade UI approach.
I translate complex infrastructure—NFV, mesh networking, RTOS—into intuitive, high-performing interfaces. My Tanzu Service Mesh UI scaled across multiple squads and integrated Mesh7 without a full rewrite by choosing micro-frontends over a monolithic Angular app, cutting new-service UI onboarding from 2 weeks to 3 days and standardizing a shared component library and API contract-first design.
Across delivery and leadership, I’ve repeatedly improved speed, quality, and adoption: I built a real-time network topology visualizer with D3.js + WebSocket and delivered a Python test automation framework that raised coverage from 40% to 85% while eliminating ~200 engineer-hours/month. I bring component-driven development, CI/CD discipline, and cross-functional leadership—so teams ship reliably and users gain faster outcomes.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments

Led a 12-engineer UI/QA team to cut deployment lead time to same-day releases and drove a 40% increase in active TSM users within 6 months of Mesh7 GA.
