@varunsagar
Frontend Engineer who builds scalable React UI, leads architecture, and boosts performance through reusable component frameworks.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Frontend Engineer with 4 years of experience building and scaling React-based applications. I lead UI architecture and guide teams toward consistent, high-quality frontend delivery with system-level thinking and a strong focus on performance optimisation.
At Cognam Technologies, I served as the de facto Frontend Lead—directing UI strategy, reviewing major frontend changes, and helping engineers break down solutions and deliver high-impact features. I spearheaded end-to-end development of 15+ complex frontend modules with minimal supervision, defined scalable UI architectures, and created a reusable library of 20+ components adopted across teams.
I optimize data-heavy interfaces (10k+ rows) using virtualization, selective rendering, and efficient state updates—reducing overall load time by 50%. I also run 2–3 technical code reviews weekly, lowering UI defects by 20% and mentoring 6 junior developers, while delivering key workflow/reporting functionality used by 2000+ internal users across 30+ deployments.
