Developed independent, reusable, responsive React components in a component library by following a design system with Storybook. I'm a design system advocate.

Checkout my reactjs-boilerplate tool - https://www.npmjs.com/package/reactjs-boilerplate. I use redux for state management when necessary. I unit test my react components with react-testing-library and perform end to end functionality testing with cypress or Puppeteer. I have experience in upgrading legacy React applications(v0.14.0 and v15.5.0) to the latest. These two applications are not bootstrapped with "create-react-app", had their own Webpack and babel configs that needed migration to the latest version. I have experience in SSR and SSG. I developed my blog website(https://nikhilkumaran.dev) using Next.js Apart from constant self-learning, I always had a soft corner for knowledge sharing. I share my knowledge by writing blog posts, giving tech talks, and contributing to open-source projects. I also mentored interns in Frontend development.
