Senior Software Engineer \| I ship scalable React \+ TypeScript frontends for product teams \| Ex\-AJIO, OpenXcell

## About

I write code that real users actually feel\. Not in a "we shipped a feature" way\. In a "the page loads in 800ms instead of 3 seconds and people stop bouncing" way\. I'm a Senior Frontend Engineer based in Ahmedabad, with 5\+ years building production React applications for companies ranging from fast\-moving product teams to recognizable consumer brands like AJIO \(Reliance Retail's fashion platform\)\. Here's the short version of what I do: → I take messy product requirements and turn them into clean, performant, accessible interfaces\. → I write TypeScript like it's documentation — so the person who inherits my code \(often future me\) doesn't hate their life\. → I obsess over the boring stuff: bundle size, render performance, semantic HTML, keyboard navigation\. Because that's what separates a UI that works from a UI that delights\. A few things I'm proud of: \- Played a core role launching Ajiogram — AJIO's video commerce platform — owning frontend execution end\-to\-end as the consultant on the team\. \- Earned recommendations from my direct manager and senior peers at AJIO, who specifically called out my work on web accessibility and shipping discipline\. \- Grew from Associate → Software Engineer → Senior in under 4 years by consistently owning more than my JD asked for\. My toolkit: React • TypeScript • Next\.js • Tailwind CSS • Redux • Node\.js • REST APIs • Modern frontend tooling Outside of code, I'm deep into personal finance \(took The 1% Club's Personal Finance Mastery course in 2023\), and I genuinely believe engineers who understand money and product make better engineers overall\. What I'm looking for now: I'm in a great seat at Molecular Connections, but I'm always open to: → Frontend engineering roles with real product ownership \(especially React/Next\.js \+ TypeScript\) → Freelance/consulting work on interesting UI problems → Conversations with other frontend engineers about performance, DX, and the future of React
