Senior UI Developer | Lead • React.js • TypeScript • JavaScript | 10+ Years Building Accessible & High-Performance Web Experiences

About

Ever opened a web application and thought, "This just works"? That's what I obsess over every single day. Over the past 9+ years, I've been building user interfaces that people actually enjoy using — from banking portals handling millions of transactions to healthcare platforms, where a smooth UI literally impacts patient outcomes. My toolkit? React.js, TypeScript and JavaScript at the core — but what really drives me is turning complex business requirements into clean, accessible, and high-performance web experiences. I started my career building an e-commerce site from scratch. No team, no mentor — just me, HTML, CSS, and a lot of Stack Overflow. That scrappy beginning taught me something no framework ever could: understand the user first, write the code second. Today, as a Lead React Developer at Synechron (banking domain), I architect scalable front-end solutions, mentor junior developers, reduce technical debt, and champion accessibility (WCAG) and responsive design across enterprise applications. I've helped teams achieve a 50% reduction in user errors and a 40% improvement in system response time through thoughtful UI modernisation. What excites me right now? Leveraging AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot to push developer productivity further, and exploring how we can build interfaces that are not just functional but genuinely delightful. Outside of code, you'll find me experimenting with new JavaScript libraries over weekend coffee, or exploring trekking trails around Pune — because the best ideas come when you step away from the screen. Let's connect — I'm always up for conversations about front-end architecture, team leadership, or the future of UI. 📧 amarghodke199026@gmail.com 📱 +91 7249578022
