Soha Siddiqui
@sohasiddiqui
Senior Frontend Engineer focused on React, TypeScript, micro-frontends, and high-performance data-heavy UI.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Frontend Engineer with 5+ years shipping production React and TypeScript applications, including SPA migrations, micro-frontend architecture, and design system work. I build with a deep focus on test coverage, performance, and data-heavy UI in complex products, and I’m equally comfortable stepping into backend when a feature demands it.
At Alasco, I architected a migration from server-rendered Django templates to a React + TypeScript SPA, reducing page load times by ~40% (4.0s → 2.4s) and eliminating the legacy template layer for 100% of core user flows. I drove frontend test coverage from 35% to 90%+ with React Testing Library and Jest, spearheaded the transition to micro-frontends, and shipped AI-powered solutions like an OCR invoice extraction pipeline and a co-developed financial reporting tool—supported by engineering standards and talks for 40+ engineers.
