Somesh Balani
@someshbalani
Senior Software Engineer specializing in frontend performance optimization.
What I'm looking for
With over 6 years of experience in software engineering, I have honed my skills in frontend development, particularly with React.js and its ecosystem. My journey has been marked by a commitment to optimizing user experiences, as evidenced by my recent achievement of reducing load times by 40%, which significantly boosted user retention rates. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can mentor junior developers and lead projects that push the boundaries of modern web technologies.
At Virtusa Consultancy Services, I spearheaded the migration from class-based to functional components, enhancing maintainability and productivity across the team. My previous roles at Deqode and Express Tech Softwares have equipped me with a robust understanding of performance optimization techniques, such as lazy loading and code splitting, which have proven essential in delivering high-quality applications. I am passionate about creating scalable UI architectures and ensuring best practices in development.
