Senior Software Engineer at Zinier

About

I am a passionate software developer with a proven track record in building high-performance, scalable, and user-centric web applications. With extensive experience in modern technologies such as React.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, Redux, Zustand, and NodeJS, a little bit of Golang to the mix. I have led the development of complex frontend systems while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams. I specialize in micro-frontend architecture, enabling seamless integration and modularization of large-scale applications, ensuring efficiency, maintainability, and scalability. My work has consistently focused on optimizing Core Web Vitals, delivering exceptional user experiences that drive engagement and retention. Beyond the frontend, I have worked extensively on backend integrations, implementing robust alerting mechanisms using PromQL, grafana, sentry and crafting unique features. My experience includes addressing unique challenges like workflow builders, bot builders, payment workflows, and real-time analytics, ensuring compliance with industry standards and delivering reliable systems. What sets me apart is my ability to come up with unique solutions to complex problems, leveraging creativity and technical expertise to overcome challenges. Additionally, I have hands-on experience with deployment strategies, including in-place deployments, blue-green deployments, and canary deployments, ensuring smooth and reliable software releases. I thrive on solving complex problems, staying ahead with the latest tech trends, and mentoring teams to achieve shared goals. Whether it’s improving performance metrics or implementing innovative features, I am committed to creating impactful products that delight users and meet business objectives.

Work experience

Senior Software Engineer at Zinier, Feb 2026 - Present · 9 mos, Bengaluru, • Led and architected the Bryntum SchedulerPro migration (v5.3.5 to v7.x) across Dispatch Console and Capacity, moving from React-driven full-array reloads to store-driven loading. Cut scroll jank and made lazy load maintainable at scale. • Designed a reusable scheduler integration layer in frontend-core (deferred ProjectModel, data hashing, cumulative React merge over batched stores) • Found and reproduced a critical Bryntum heap leak using Chrome heap snapshots, demonstrated the leak path to the vendor, and proposed the fix that led to the 7.3.7 nightly and then the stable release. • Architected multi-timezone scheduling: region TreeGroup bands, DST-aware timezone strips, multi-region technicians, Shift Summary and i18n, so planners can work across regions on one calendar. • Re-engineered server-side lazy load to remove nested-store deadlocks, frozen scrollers and blank Capacity grids, keeping large fleets usable under real load. • Founded "Open Source Fridays" (OSF), a recurring engineering program where developers pick up work from a shared OSF board: technical-debt items and features planned months down the roadmap. It made debt paydown and early feature delivery voluntary and high-visibility, driving gains in code quality and test coverage and building collaboration across teams. • Introduced Gitflow to the engineering team and ran multiple training sessions on branching strategy and effective merge-conflict handling, giving developers a shared, predictable path from feature branch to release. • Drove architectural decision calls on multiple occasions, and authored and circulated design documents for both technical and non-technical audiences to align stakeholders before build. • Leading the AI team: building Zinier Intelligence, a self-hosted, governed agent runtime (model router, audited tool-calling loop, Postgres-backed state), and driving the strategy to fine-tune smaller open-weight models on Zinier data for self-hosted deployment.

Senior Software Engineer at Avathon, Oct 2025 - Feb 2026 · 5 mos, Bangalore, • Implemented automated vulnerability scanning in the frontend pipeline (SCA and static analysis), enforcing security baselines for dependencies and build artifacts and enabling early detection of critical issues before production using Trivy. • Set up and standardized pre-commit and pre-push hooks (linting, type checks, tests, formatting) across repositories, preventing broken builds from merging and improving overall code quality and consistency. • Integrating Hypertrace-based logging and distributed tracing into frontend–backend flows, adding structured context and correlation IDs from the UI to services, which significantly improved MTTR for production issues. • Collaborated with platform/SRE teams to leverage GKE‑hosted tracing and observability for frontend-driven traffic, wiring trace metadata from browser requests into cluster-level dashboards used for performance and reliability analysis. • Implementing an in‑product AI assistant integration (for help, suggestions, or automation), defining the interaction model, prompt/response flows, and frontend safeguards.

Software engineer II at Nextiva, Jan 2024 - Oct 2025 · 1 yr 10 mos, India, • Led a high-impact Proof of Concept (POC) to create a user interface for bot development using React, styled-components, TypeScript, and React-flow. • Successfully selected POC over two others to become the foundation for the final product. • Took full ownership of the Bot builder project, overseeing data structure design and drag-and-drop feature development and the complete flow builder project. • Utilised Atlassian's Pragmatic DND library to implement an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. • Conducted extensive knowledge transfer sessions on React-flow to accelerate team adoption. • Improved project performance through the implementation of virtualisation, ensuring only DOM elements within the viewport are rendered. • Integrated key tools and libraries, like zod, ky, Tanstack Query, Tanstack router, Playwright, react testing library and Vitest. • Created custom ESLint configurations to enforce consistent code quality across the project. • Integrated the Lexical editor to provide rich text editing capabilities within the workflow builder and Bot Builder. • Added pre-commit hooks to enforce checks that makes sure that the set rules for linting is adhered and code quality is maintained throughout. • Led the efforts to make the bot builder an AI enabled flow builder, that enables the end user to traverse through the flow, with smart decision making capabilities in traversing the nodes of the flow, processing user input and then fuzzy matches the node that has the relevant intent and entities. • Delivered end to end development effort working on workflow builder project to address the larger No code product that focuses on a lot of other avenues and industries, that rely on workflows. • Led efforts to build a survey builder which again is a no ode platform product.

Product Engineer at Razorpay, Oct 2020 - Jan 2024 · 3 yrs 4 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, • Actively contributed to both backend and frontend development as part of a collaborative team, focusing on real-time debugging, issue resolution, and performance monitoring to ensure product stability and quality. •Spearheaded automation initiatives using AWS Lambda, optimizing key processes like statement retrieval and other critical operations to streamline workflows. • Developed and optimized Grafana dashboards with PromQL to monitor time-series data, creating real-time alerts and visual insights to enhance system reliability. • Contributed to the development of admin and merchant dashboards, addressing both internal and external user needs, improving functionality and user experience. • Worked closely with cross-functional teams to perform rigorous performance testing, ensuring scalability and efficiency across various product lines. • Led a data analytics project to significantly improve reliability (SR), delivering enhanced user experiences through targeted optimizations and insights. • Created various admin actions, Merchant dashboards using ReactJS, redux, zustand and Mobx (Different state management libraries in different applications). • Worked extensively on Micro-Frontend architecture, and Module Federation to create independent, reusable modules that integrate seamlessly in to the Razorpay payment eco-system. • Made sure of the code quality, integrated sentry to alert and monitor core web vitals, and kept the focus on scalability and performance. • Wrote extensive unit test cases using React Testing Library and Jest and wrote end-to-end (E2E) test cases using Playwright. • Regular discussions with Backend, Design teams, and Also addressed the incidents with Incident management team, Wrote extensive RCA's (Root Cause Analysis) to make sure the incident was well documented and the issue was rectified on top priority. • Created CI-CD pipelines to deploy the individual micro-fronted applications using spinnaker and github actions.
