Senior Software Engineer | Frontend | React, Next.js, TypeScript | Performance and product thinking

About

I am a product-focused frontend engineer who builds and ships learner-facing and internal product systems. I work mostly with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Vue.js. At Airtribe, I own the career services and CRM verticals, building systems that serve 6,300+ learners and 126+ internal admins. I've built mentorship booking infrastructure handling 13,400+ requests, an AI-powered resume builder and profile review system, and helped replace LeadSquared with an in-house CRM managing 221K+ opportunities. Before Airtribe, I worked with MetaBrainz as a Google Summer of Code contributor, where I built the Fresh Releases experience for ListenBrainz. The team secured separate funding to extend my role beyond the standard GSoC term. I care about clear interfaces, performance, and maintainability. Open to conversations about interesting problems.
