About

Engineering Team Lead / Frontend Architect | 10+ YoE | React, React Native, Micro-frontend Architecture | Paytm Travel Frontend Architect and Engineering Team Lead with 10+ years designing and scaling consumer-facing web and mobile products at high-growth companies including Paytm, DealShare, and eloelo. Deep expertise in React, React Native, and micro-frontend architecture, with a track record of turning technical decisions into measurable business outcomes — from multi-million user DAU growth to double-digit gains in retention and conversion. I pair hands-on architectural ownership with people leadership: mentoring engineers, setting technical direction, and working closely with Product, Design, and Backend teams to ship at scale. I'm also an early adopter of AI-assisted engineering practices (Claude, Cursor), using them to speed up code generation, refactoring, and test automation — cutting routine development time by 50-60% without compromising code quality. Currently leading frontend architecture for Paytm Travel (Flights, Trains, Bus), scaling a platform used by millions of daily active users.
