Talha Shaikh

I’m a Frontend Engineer with 4 years of experience crafting fast, responsive, and accessible web interfaces with React.js, Next.js, and TypeScript. I translate UI/UX into pixel-perfect, maintainable component systems, with a strong focus on performance, scalability, and code quality.

I’ve owned frontend delivery end-to-end across 5+ production React.js and Next.js applications, establishing shared component libraries that cut UI development time by an estimated 30% across teams. I’ve architected multi-step forms and booking flows with Formik, Yup, and React Hook Form, integrated Stripe for secure checkout (full and instalment-based), and improved Lighthouse performance from 55 to 85+ across 3 applications using SSR, route-based code splitting, image lazy loading, and asset optimisation.

I enjoy shipping real product outcomes—integrating RESTful APIs and WebSocket connections for authentication flows, real-time updates, and robust client-side error boundary patterns. I’ve also mentored junior developers through structured code reviews and pair programming, and I thrive in Agile/Scrum environments; earlier, as a React Developer, I built NFT marketplace features including token minting and live bidding UI with MetaMask integration.
