IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Frontend Engineer and React.js specialist with 8+ years of progressive experience architecting and delivering scalable, high-performance web applications. I focus on building maintainable frontend systems with modern React patterns and strong engineering discipline.
Most recently at GlobalLogic (Hitachi Group), I led end-to-end frontend architecture for enterprise React.js applications. I improved Jest unit test coverage from 15% to 80%+, reduced bundle size by ~35% using code splitting and lazy loading, and integrated WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards across user-facing components.
I bring deep expertise in TypeScript, Redux (including Redux Toolkit), React Hooks, Context API, and REST API integration. I’ve integrated 10+ RESTful APIs and third-party services with robust error handling and optimistic UI updates, while driving performance optimization, code review quality, and technical documentation.
I’m also a proven mentor and Agile practitioner, having led cross-functional teams of 5–12 and coached junior engineers through structured code reviews and pair programming. I’m energized by roles where I can raise engineering standards, strengthen CI/CD and testing, and help teams ship high-quality frontend releases.
