IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an accomplished Lead Software Engineer with 13.5 years of experience developing web applications using modern technologies. I enjoy designing and shipping high-performance, scalable solutions, and I’m passionate about writing clean, maintainable code.
In recent roles, I migrated legacy applications using Micro-Frontend architecture and worked across React, Next.js, GraphQL, TypeScript, Node.js, and Python. I also focused heavily on quality—writing unit tests to maintain test coverage >90%, conducting code reviews, and fixing bugs quickly to keep delivery on track.
I’ve contributed as an individual contributor and also mentored engineers, taking ownership of requirement gathering and Agile scrum activities like sprint planning, demos, and retrospectives. I collaborate closely with stakeholders, create POCs to propose solutions, and align execution with senior management through effective project management.
