▸ Owned end-to-end delivery of 2 major frontend modules within a 12-person cross-functional agile team, driving each from architecture and technical design through development, code review, and production deployment. ▸ Built complex, data-driven UI components handling cascading state and deeply interdependent workflows, writing predictable, well-structured code that holds up reliably on the ABB industrial platform. ▸ Introduced functional programming standards (pure functions, immutability, HOF transformations, UI/business logic separation), increasing RTL test coverage and cutting recurring bugs by ~50%. ▸ Built resilient async data flows with structured error handling, fallback UI states, and edge-case coverage, improving production reliability and reducing unexpected UI failures at runtime. ▸ Improved frontend load performance through route-level code splitting, lazy image loading, and list virtualisation, reducing bundle size and improving render performance on data-heavy industrial views. ▸ Contributed to DB schema discussions and authored backward compatibility documentation — enabling cleaner API contracts and reducing integration rework during delivery. ▸ Used GitHub Copilot for test writing and boilerplate reduction — contributing to faster sprint delivery without compromising code review quality. ▸ Participated in code reviews and architecture discussions, contributing to team-wide frontend standards that improved consistency.

▸ Core engineer on a full greenfield product, delivered a job portal with admin, employer, and candidate workflows end-to-end in 10 months as part of a lean core team. ▸ Built the complete frontend in Next.js (SSR/SSG) across 3 user roles, covering job discovery, applications, dashboards, and management flows, optimized for performance and SEO. ▸ Led REST → GraphQL migration for key data-fetching flows, reducing average payload size and improving dashboard load performance across all 3 role-specific views. ▸ Integrated real-time messaging using WebSockets, adding live in-app chat and notifications between employers and candidates with no page refresh. ▸ Implemented end-to-end authentication using NextAuth and custom JWT strategies, covering session management, token rotation, and role-based access control across 3 user types. ▸ Built a shared Storybook component library with consistent loading, error, and edge-case states, reducing UI inconsistencies and speeding up development of new flows. ▸ Optimized performance through route-level code splitting, image lazy loading, and list virtualization, improving page load times across all user roles.

▸ Progressed through 4 roles across MIS, operations, and quality management, taking on increasing responsibility and cross-functional accountability, reaching Quality Head within 3.5 years. ▸ Worked extensively with MIS reporting systems and operational data, developing analytical thinking and structured problem-solving that directly supports independent decision-making in software engineering today. ▸ Coordinated quality audits, operational reviews, and cross-team processes, building habits of structured communication, attention to detail, and delivery accountability carried directly into agile software teams.▸ Supplemented with Udemy coursework in frontend development and built independent personal projects to establish a production-ready foundation before joining GeekyAnts in Aug 2022.

About

I came to software engineering through a deliberate career switch, not a straight line. That path gave me something most engineers don't have early on: real-world professional maturity alongside the technical skills. I build production-grade React.js and TypeScript applications at enterprise scale, from greenfield products built from scratch to complex enterprise industrial platforms. I care about code that's clean, tested, and easy for the next engineer to pick up. I understand enough of the full stack to work independently and reduce cross-team back-and-forth. What I work with: React.js · TypeScript · Next.js · GraphQL · RTL · Storybook · Node.js
