Building Pocketful

About

Founding member of the web team at Pocketful. I build real-time frontend systems that traders rely on. I joined Pocketful as part of the founding team nearly four years ago and built our web trading platform from the ground up. It now powers live trading across equities, IPOs, and MCX commodities, and I've grown into leading the frontend team of four. Overall, I have 5+ years of experience building fast, data-intensive web applications, mostly in fintech. My core focus is the hard part of trading UIs: streaming market data at scale, keeping orders, positions, and prices consistent in real time, and making the app fast and reliable enough that users trust every number on screen. What I've owned: • Architected the real-time market data layer on WebSockets, keeping live prices, orders, and positions in sync across the app • Moved computation-heavy P&L processing to Web Workers, keeping the UI responsive during peak market activity • Delivered IPO, MCX commodities trading, and TradingView charting experiences end to end • Introduced Sentry and PostHog, giving the team production observability and product analytics • Lead a team of 4 engineers: setting frontend architecture and standards, reviewing code, and mentoring Tech: React, JavaScript, Redux, React Query, WebSockets, Web Workers, REST APIs I'm most excited by teams where frontend engineering quality directly shapes the product, especially in real-time, high-stakes domains.
