About

I'm a results-driven Frontend Engineer with over 8 years of experience building high-performance, scalable web applications using React, Angular, and Node.js. I specialize in leading UI teams to deliver intuitive user experiences that drive business impact—most recently at Pepperfry, where I led frontend development for a large-scale e-commerce platform. My strengths lie in architecting clean, maintainable codebases, optimizing performance (Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse scores), and mentoring developers to level up engineering quality and velocity. I bring full-stack awareness to frontend leadership, allowing me to collaborate effectively across design, backend, and product teams.
