Frontend-focused software engineer building scalable React apps with measurable impact.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a frontend-focused Software Engineer with 3 years of experience building scalable web apps using React and full-stack technologies. I’m at my best delivering high-impact features in both enterprise and startup environments, with a strong bias toward component architecture and performance.
At Toddle, I led a single-page unit plan initiative that consolidated 40+ components into 7 reusable ones, cutting code duplication by 70% and shifting interactions from clicks to scroll to reduce user friction. I also built an IB bulk download nomenclature system that auto-generates PDFs via Puppeteer and emails curated zip files, eliminating hours of manual work.
I’ve developed highly customizable UI surfaces—like a Plan of Action table using Slate for cell formatting, dnd-kit for row/column drag-and-drop, and react-table for dynamic resizing. I also integrated a code review workflow with Claude Code into the codebase, and I’ve mentored interns and teammates while contributing to hiring through technical interviews.
Earlier, I architected template-based rendering for unit plans, upgraded react-beautiful-dnd while maintaining 15+ core features, and strengthened accessibility by implementing WCAG standards (including focus trapping and keyboard accessibility). My internships reinforced my craft—from migrating ReactJS to Next.js for SEO to building reusable, scalable UI patterns with Storybook, Tailwind CSS, and API-driven dashboards.
