React.js Front End Engineer with 4+ years building enterprise dashboards, optimizing performance, and improving accessibility.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven React.js Front End Engineer and React.js SME with 4+ years of owning enterprise-grade React.js applications end to end. I architect scalable, component-based experiences using JavaScript ES6+, TypeScript, Redux, and Recoil—turning product requirements into production-ready features with an Agile mindset.
At Virtusa, I’ve been the sole frontend module owner for enterprise React.js dashboards for the AstraZeneca – Enterprise Healthcare Analytics Platform. I engineered scalable web applications, designed a reusable UI component library of 20+ components adopted across 10+ enterprise dashboards, and implemented shared-state and async data flow patterns to improve stability and user engagement.
I prioritize quality and delivery velocity through CI/CD and testing discipline. I configured GitHub Actions and GitLab CI pipelines with automated build/lint/test/deploy workflows, enforced quality gates on every PR with Jest/Playwright, and extended coverage with integration and E2E suites for critical user journeys and cross-browser scenarios.
I also focus on measurable impact—improving performance (30%+ faster page loads, 40% smaller bundles), reducing UI defects by 80% through responsive design, and meeting WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards with i18n/l10n via react-i18next. I integrate AI-assisted workflows daily (GitHub Copilot, Claude AI, Cursor IDE) to accelerate development and refactoring, and I mentor junior developers through knowledge-sharing sessions—recognized with Star Performer of the Month (2×) and the HIL Star Honors Award.
