About

Senior Frontend Engineer with 4+ years building fintech products in React and TypeScript — for platforms serving over a million users at Paytm Money and KredX. Most of my work sits at the point where frontend stops being about screens and starts being about architecture. At KredX, I architected an end-to-end user management module for vendors and financiers — video KYC capture, ops and risk approval workflows, and the full user lifecycle from onboarding through role changes and deletion. It replaced a process that had been scattered across three teams with a single interface. I also led the build of our design system from scratch in Ant Design: 8+ reusable components including a data table with sorting and column-level filtering, filter panels, tabs and OTP inputs. Separately, I revamped company onboarding with automated GSTIN/CIN fetch and cKYC support, which cut onboarding from two days to two hours by removing manual document verification. At Paytm Money, I worked on the trading surface for 740K+ active users — margin calculators, portfolio analytics, interactive charts, and a P&L calculator for Equity and F&O. A few things I'm proud of from that stretch: automating the account closure flow, which cut related support requests by 70%; taking our Lighthouse score from 70 to 95 while reducing memory usage; and unifying our separate web and mobile app experiences into a single H5 codebase rendered inside the native app, which removed a duplicate implementation the team had been maintaining twice over. Day to day I work in React, TypeScript, React Query and Context API, with Jest for unit coverage, across micro-frontend architecture. I review code and mentor the junior developers on my team — the part of senior work I want to keep doing more of. Open to senior frontend roles where the hard problems are architectural rather than cosmetic. Reach me at chinmayupare@gmail.com.
