Nitish Kalra — Software Engineer
I am a Frontend Systems Lead with 10+ years of experience designing and owning frontend platforms for production web applications. My work focuses on scalable UI architecture, performance optimization, and developer experience (DX), helping teams deliver reliable features faster and with higher quality. I have led frontend-heavy initiatives using React and TypeScript, built shared UI systems, improved application performance, and introduced structured testing and review practices to reduce regressions in long-lived codebases. I actively use AI as an engineering tool — particularly for code review, refactoring, testing, and documentation — while maintaining clear human oversight and quality standards. I believe AI increases engineering leverage when applied thoughtfully within well-designed systems. I enjoy working in distributed, cross-functional teams and taking long-term ownership of frontend quality, reliability, and maintainability. Currently open to frontend architecture, staff/lead engineer, or DX-focused roles in product-driven teams worldwide
