About

At Ema, I’ve been leading frontend development on AI-driven ingestion systems — building real-time hierarchical visualizers, scalable web scraping flows, and performant UI architectures that support large-scale data pipelines and AI-powered workflows. This work has strengthened my focus on building resilient, high-performance interfaces for complex distributed systems. Previously at MakeMyTrip, our team delivered a transformative leap in web performance, achieving a 70% increase in page load speed and a dramatic uplift in Core Web Vitals, directly contributing to higher business conversions. With a strong technical foundation from NIT Silchar, I’ve consistently focused on elevating user experience through engineering innovation, including the isomorphic listing page designed for both user engagement and SEO impact. Across roles, I’ve applied frontend architecture, and high-level design while mentoring peers and interns — fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous learning. My contributions were recognized with the “Super Starter of the Quarter” award in MMT, reflecting my commitment to building products that meaningfully move both the company and the industry forward.
