What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own impactful React front ends, improve performance and accessibility, and ship confidently with strong testing and CI/CD—while leveraging AI-assisted development to move faster without sacrificing quality.

I’m a results-driven React.js Front End Engineer with 4+ years of experience owning enterprise-grade React.js applications as an SME. I focus on building production-ready features end-to-end—engineering scalable front ends with strong component architecture, integrating RESTful APIs, and tightening quality through unit, integration, and E2E testing.

In my role at Virtusa (AstraZeneca client), I’ve led sole ownership of a frontend module for enterprise healthcare analytics dashboards, including designing a reusable 20+ component library adopted across 10+ dashboards. I also optimize performance (30%+ faster page loads, 40% smaller bundles), strengthen accessibility to WCAG 2.1 AA, and deliver reliable CI/CD with GitHub Actions and GitLab CI—while using AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude AI, and Cursor to cut boilerplate by ~30%.
