About

I’m a Staff Software Engineer who has spent over a decade building frontend and fullstack systems and interviewing engineers who claim they can do the same. Over the years, I’ve noticed a gap: Most engineers learn how to code, but very few learn how real systems are evaluated, scaled, and maintained. My work sits at the intersection of: - Frontend architecture (React, Next.js, state, performance) - Fullstack systems (Node.js, APIs, data flow) - Interview judgment (what actually separates mid, senior, and staff-level engineers) I’ve worked across startups and enterprises, led teams, reviewed portfolios, conducted interviews, and shipped systems where trade-offs mattered more than perfect code. Today, I share practical insights on: - How senior engineers think - Why many portfolios and interviews fail - What hiring managers actually look for - How frontend systems break at scale I also run IOCombats, where engineers practice interview questions and real-world UI/system problems with detailed breakdowns, not memorized answers. If you care about growing beyond tutorials and understanding how engineering works in the real world, you’ll feel at home here.

Founder

Jul 2015 – Jun 2016 · 11 mos · Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India · On-site

I founded and led a startup focused on aggregating local ITI institutes and Gulf job consultancies onto a unified platform, aiming to streamline job searches for individuals in my hometown and neighboring cities. As a solo developer, I conceptualized, designed, and developed the app, attracting over 1000 users within the 3 months.
Key Responsibilities:
Conceptualized and developed the app from scratch, leveraging technologies such as PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS.
Implemented user acquisition strategies, including direct outreach to consultancies and institutes for promotion.
Managed all aspects of the startup, including product development, marketing, and customer engagement.
Navigated challenges such as limited funding and marketing knowledge, learning valuable lessons in the process.
Despite the venture's closure due to financial constraints, this experience honed my skills in entrepreneurship, product development, and strategic decision-making.
