Senior software engineer building scalable React/TypeScript design systems and high-performance UIs.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 5 years of experience building scalable React + TypeScript systems at consumer and enterprise scale. I built and scaled a 40+ component WCAG compliant design system adopted across 5+ teams, cutting feature delivery time by 25%.
I ship performance overhauls that reduced FCP by 58% and bundle size by 40% for products serving millions of monthly users. I specialize in component architecture—using Atomic Design, Storybook, and clear package boundaries—so teams can deliver faster with fewer dependency issues.
At SHL Global, I built a WCAG compliant UI component library from scratch and defined modular frontend rollout strategy across 5+ teams. I also led frontend delivery for TalentCentral+ and Talent Mobility with CDN-based asset optimization via AWS CloudFront, and earlier I developed Node.js services and dashboards that removed operational bottlenecks and improved user flows.
