Frontend Architect turning micro-frontends into high-performance, scalable commerce platforms.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Frontend Architect with 16+ years of experience designing and leading cloud-native, high-availability frontend architectures for large-scale eCommerce and government platforms. I’m known for turning ambiguous, multi-team initiatives into scalable architecture across micro frontends, headless commerce, GraphQL/API design, and performance engineering.
At Metyis (Senior Solution Architect / Frontend Architect), I lead frontend and solution architecture for enterprise and government eCommerce projects across multiple brands and markets, directly managing a team of 8-10 developers. I define API architecture, caching strategy, and integration patterns for scalable microservices and headless commerce, and set standards adopted across brand teams.
I own architecture decisions and the technical roadmap, evaluating build-vs-buy trade-offs for headless commerce and design system tooling. I also deliver measurable Core Web Vitals gains—reducing Total Blocking Time (TBT) by 10% through Brotli compression, lazy loading, and dependency optimization—and improve API response performance with Redis caching at the GraphQL layer; I’ve migrated images to AVIF to reduce payload size and improve rendering efficiency, while implementing SEO best practices, CDN integration, and accessibility standards (WCAG).
Earlier, as Senior Associate L2 (Frontend Lead) at Publicis Sapient, I led frontend architecture and technical design decisions for global eCommerce platforms, managing teams of 5-8 developers per engagement and driving architecture reviews and governance to improve performance, SEO, and accessibility. Before that, I held roles including Assistant Manager at Macquarie Pvt Ltd and multiple analyst/developer positions (BCG, Sapient Nitro, Wipro), strengthening my ability to pair system design with hands-on delivery and cross-functional alignment in Agile environments.
