SDE\-II @ Dream11 \| React Native

## About

I’m a Software Development Engineer II at Dream11, building scalable, high\-performance mobile applications used by millions of sports fans daily\. With 5\.7 years of experience in React Native, TypeScript, and JavaScript, I focus on turning complex ideas into smooth, reliable, and engaging user experiences\. At Dream11, I’ve led initiatives that boosted app stability, reduced crash rates by 15%, and improved performance and load times\. I integrated the Instabug SDK to automate crash monitoring and incident response, ensuring faster resolution of production issues\. I also contributed to d11\-react\-native\-mqtt, delivered a Server\-Driven UI \(SDUI\) framework for low\-code UI creation, and built a shared Accounts module enabling seamless payments across Dream11’s app ecosystem\. Beyond coding, I mentor engineers, refine architecture, and drive frontend best practices that scale\.
