About

As a Frontend Engineer with 3+ years of experience, I build secure, scalable, and accessible web applications using React, TypeScript, and modern UI engineering practices. At NatWest Group, I’ve delivered performance improvements, codebase migrations, accessibility compliance, and reliable testing foundations serving 1,000+ enterprise clients. I try to advocate my fair share of knowledge on cutting edge technologies and love integrating AI into development workflows - winning a hackathon for building an AI-powered CI pipeline and also a finalist in an enterprise level ideathon. I'm also an avid public speaker, with featured talks at events like NatWest StockX 2025 and the NASSCOM GCC Conclave on new-age technology driven engineering. Apart from work, I enjoy building high-quality, reliable applications for fun and leveraging AI to accelerate and boraden my engineering horizon.
