Akshay Patel — Software Engineer
Frontend Engineer with 5 years of experience building product-driven web applications across growth, monetization, and edtech. I work primarily with React, Next.js, and TypeScript, and I care deeply about frontend being treated as a product and business lever, not just UI execution. Over the years I have led large-scale Next.js migrations that scaled monthly organic traffic from 100K to 500K, driven full JavaScript to TypeScript migrations across large codebases, written custom ESLint rules to enforce team-wide standards, and introduced CI pipeline coverage gates that pushed test coverage from 30 percent to 90 percent. I have also reduced bundle sizes by 30 percent through lazy loading and performance optimization, built high-UX editors for content creators, and shipped animation-driven learning components and interactive games that improved student engagement. I integrate AI-assisted development workflows daily using Cursor, Claude, and Figma MCP to move faster from design to production-ready code. I am drawn to roles where frontend work directly influences user outcomes and business metrics, whether that is growth, product, tooling, or anything in between. Open to Senior Frontend Engineer roles. Feel free to reach out. Stack: React, Next.js, Vue, TypeScript, Redux, Node.js, Tailwind CSS, Jest, Storybook, AWS S3, Figma MCP, Cursor
