About

Vercel v0: https://rahul-gandhi.vercel.app/ Static site: https://gandhirahul.github.io/ I’m a frontend engineer with over 10 years of experience building fast, scalable, and accessible web applications. I specialise in React, TypeScript, and modern web performance techniques — with a strong focus on creating user-centric, visually rich interfaces. As a lead engineer, I’ve led teams to deliver complex products under tight deadlines, collaborated closely with designers and backend engineers, and mentored developers across levels. My work spans startups and large-scale platforms like Bumble, where quality, speed, and UX were key. I thrive in environments where great UX meets great code. Whether it’s solving rendering performance bottlenecks, improving accessibility, or architecting reusable design systems. I’m always looking for better ways to ship polished, production-ready frontend experiences. 🔧 Core skills: React, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), Web Performance, CSS, Design Systems, Frontend Architecture, Team Leadership
