## Headline

Senior Software Engineer \- AI Native @ Wipro \| “VibeCoding” & AI\-Assisted UI Architecture \| Scaling Intelligent Web Applications \| Angular 17 & React Architecture

## About

Over the last 5\+ years, I've built role\-based access control from the ground up in Angular, led the UI for AI agent creation workflows powered by LLMs, and built real\-time dashboards in React with Zustand\. Different stacks, different problems, but honestly the same instinct every time: it doesn't matter how powerful something is on the backend if the person using it can't feel that power intuitively\. Lately, I've leaned hard into AI\-assisted development — Copilot handles a good chunk of my routine work now, generating specs, writing test cases with Playwright, that kind of thing\. But I don't think of that as "coding faster\." I think of it as getting the boring stuff out of the way so I can actually think — about the architecture, about the trade\-offs, about the small details that decide whether a feature feels obvious or feels like a chore\. I've also just always ended up owning things fully — from sitting in on requirement discussions and estimating scope, to writing the code, reviewing it, pushing it to production, and being the one who gets paged if it breaks\. I've mentored a few junior engineers along the way too, mostly because I remember what it felt like to be the new person trying to figure out an unfamiliar codebase\. At this point, I'm less interested in learning one more framework and more interested in building things that actually change how people work day to day — especially where AI and good design intersect\. If that's the kind of problem you're working on, or if you just want to talk about where frontend engineering is headed, I'd genuinely like to connect\.
