Udaan has been the steepest curve in my engineering career, and the most rewarding. I learned how to work from first principles, make decisions with data (not vibes), and turn autonomy into outcomes. These days, I lead all things UI; from shipping core product experiences to modernizing infra across mobile and web. Design systems, performance wins, CI/CD upgrades, platform migrations - if it touches frontend, I’ve probably touched it.

After switching from a service-based setup to a proper product gig, I joined as the only UI engineer on a team. I ended up revamping the whole codebase and sought additional projects. That’s where I really learned what it means to own software end-to-end. However, when the work didn’t present enough challenges, I decided it was time to move on.

They were right about the first job - it was special. Learned the ropes, understood full SDLC of web and mobile products, made friends here and abroad, independently managed a team of engineers.
