Staff Frontend Engineer | Web Platform Architecture & Micro-Frontends | React, Angular

About

Staff Software Engineer (Frontend) with expertise in Frontend Web technology & Fintech Systems I design and run frontend platforms where scale, reliability, and developer velocity are critical. With 9+ years across fintech and web platforms, I operate at Senior-Staff scope—owning frontend architecture across business verticals, design and development of large scale applications, setting engineering standards, and enabling multiple teams to ship high-concurrency systems with confidence. At my latest role at CoinDCX, I led frontend architecture for real-time trading and payment platforms scaled to 100k+ concurrent users. Through disciplined work on observability, micro-frontend design, and performance engineering, these systems delivered ~75% speed improvements, doubled transaction throughput, and materially reduced production risk. My impact concentrates in four areas: Platform Architecture & Org-Scale Leverage: Evolving large frontend ecosystems—decomposing monoliths into micro-frontends, defining shared abstractions, and enabling parallel execution across teams without sacrificing consistency or UX. Engineering Systems & Delivery: Establishing review standards, architectural guardrails, CI/CD pipelines, and SDLC dashboards across dozens of repositories—cutting build times by 60%+, raising test coverage to ~85%, and tightening feedback loops. Performance, Reliability & Observability: Treating frontend as a production system via Real User Monitoring, Web Vitals programs, bundle and CDN optimization, and incident feedback loops that reduced TTFB from 720ms to 210ms and MTTR from ~4 hours to under 45 minutes. Technical Leadership & Team Enablement Mentoring senior engineers, unblocking cross-org initiatives, driving architectural reviews, and partnering with product and backend leaders to make long-term platform bets under ambiguity. I actively use AI-assisted tooling (Claude Code, OpenAI codex, and internal LLM integrations) as accelerators—while maintaining architectural ownership and human judgment over critical systems. My background is strongest in fintech, crypto, and platform-heavy web systems, but my core value lies in building frontend organizations and architectures that scale across domains. Currently focused on conversations around Staff-level frontend leadership roles in product-led companies where frontend is a strategic surface area.
