What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end frontend delivery (Figma to production), build real-time, data-intensive UIs, and drive performance with strong component systems and cross-functional collaboration—open to immediate start.

I’m a frontend engineer who owns the full loop—from Figma to production—building real-time financial UIs with a strong focus on performance, correctness, and scalable design systems. I’ve delivered end-to-end features across fintech dashboards, remittance flows, and mobile experiences.

At moneyHOP, I spearheaded frontend ownership across 5 production fintech apps, engineering a WebSocket-driven transaction dashboard that processed $150M+ annually. I improved ops efficiency, trimmed data sync failures with optimistic UI and request deduplication patterns, and eliminated UI inconsistency defects by building a shared ShadCN UI + Tailwind CSS component system.

More recently, I delivered measurable outcomes at Codechavo (Kapiva) by reducing cross-device layout defects by ~40% and improving LCP/CLS using Next.js dynamic imports and route-level code splitting. For Flipkart (BLJ Tech Geeks), I shipped an AI-powered style discovery UI and built a custom Three.js SDK that cut 3D asset load time by ~42% across iOS and Android.
