What I'm looking for

I’m looking for product-based companies where I can own frontend-heavy Full Stack systems, lead migrations, and drive performance improvements. I want Senior Frontend / Full Stack SDE-2 scope with strong product focus, clear ownership, and measurable impact.

I’m a frontend-heavy Full Stack Engineer with 2.5+ years of experience building production-grade web applications at fintech and consumer-tech startups. I focus on owning end-to-end frontend architecture with React.js and Next.js (App Router), delivering measurable performance gains such as an 80% reduction in HTTP requests and LCP improvements from 4.2s to 1.8s.

In my recent roles, I architected SSR/SSG rendering pipelines, led legacy migrations to Next.js + React.js, and built modular TypeScript component systems adopted across multiple product surfaces. I also integrate secure auth, real-time features (WebSocket/SSE), and reliable infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS) to ship faster—turning performance budgets and monitoring into consistent user outcomes.
