About

Hi there! I'm a Software Engineer specializing in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern frontend development, with experience building scalable, high-performance fintech and SaaS products. Currently at Alaan (YC W23), I build and architect production-grade web applications, including payment dashboards, onboarding experiences, and customer-facing financial products. My work spans React, Next.js, Redux, Tailwind CSS, REST APIs, and modern frontend architecture, with a strong focus on performance, scalability, UX, accessibility, and reusable component design. I collaborate closely with product, design, and backend teams in an Agile environment, contributing to technical design discussions, peer code reviews, testing, and CI/CD-driven releases. Previously at Deloitte USI, I led frontend development for DocuEdge, a SaaS platform designed to manage billions of database records. I built scalable React applications, reusable components and custom hooks, integrated REST APIs, optimized asynchronous data handling, and worked with JavaScript (ES6+), Webpack, automated testing, and CI/CD. My contributions earned me a Special and Outstanding recognition within four months. I'm a Computer Science graduate from IIT Bhubaneswar with a strong foundation in object-oriented programming, design patterns, data structures, and software engineering principles. I enjoy solving complex frontend problems, improving application performance, and building clean, maintainable systems that deliver great user experiences. Always interested in frontend engineering, product engineering, system design, performance optimization, and building impactful products at scale.
