About

As a Senior Software Engineer I at SmartQ, my work focuses on enhancing system scalability, performance, and maintainability through innovative frontend solutions. I’ve led architecture improvements, centralized input management, and revamped the Permissions Page to simplify workflows and improve the user experience. I also spearheaded the redesign of the frontend structure, enabling modular and reusable React components for faster feature rollouts. With a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from Shri Shankaracharya Technical Campus Bhilai and a PG-DAC from the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, my expertise spans Next.js, Material-UI, and Core Java. I aim to continue building scalable and user-centric web applications that drive efficiency and growth.
