About

I build frontend systems that hold up at scale — and I like the problems that come with that: architecture that doesn't buckle under traffic, UI that stays consistent across dozens of teams, and performance that doesn't degrade as products grow. At Meesho, I architect and maintain the React-based Micro-Frontend system powering the Supplier Panel, serving 30,000+ daily active users. I built out reusable UI patterns for "Crystal," our shared component library, to keep design consistent across microservices, and I've driven Core Web Vitals improvements that directly impact user experience at that scale. I also led the migration from Role-Based to Policy-Based Access Control to strengthen security across our logistics panels — work that shipped alongside acquisition features contributing to 30% business growth. Before Meesho, I spent two years at Paytm working across performance and reliability: improved application performance by 20% and cut downtime by 10% through React refactoring, standardized API testing with Java and RestAssured, and rationalized AWS infrastructure for annual savings of ₹1.2–1.5 Crore. I also built a custom security library on ZAP to catch vulnerabilities pre-release — work that first got me deep into Java, which I'm now building on with Spring Boot. Core stack: JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, React.js, Next.js, Redux, Node.js — with growing depth in Java and Spring Boot for full-stack and backend work. I'm always up for a conversation about frontend architecture, performance engineering, or scalable design systems — feel free to connect or reach out.
