About

Thank you for going through my profile. I'm a senior engineer specialised in frontend technologies bringing in over a decade of software development experience at various product based companies. Some of my career highlights (examples in work experience section): I go beyond the bare minimum: I don’t just write working code but ensure it’s clean, well tested and as optimal as needed and ready to scale. I put thought into accessibility and maintainability while meeting deadlines. Always adaptable and learning: I can adapt to libraries, frameworks or even programming languages. While I do have my set of strong skills, during my career I’ve often picked up skills while on the job and delivered. Code at scale: With experience at Media.net, Clevertap and Upwork, I have been directly involved with developing high performance running at scale.
