As a senior software engineer, contributed to the delivery of scalable, high-performance web applications, working across both frontend and backend. Led development efforts, mentored team members, and drove quality code aligned with UX and product goals.

• Led and mentored a small team of junior and senior developers through planning, code reviews, and technical decision-making.
• Designed and developed scalable microservices using Node.js, React, and TypeScript.
• Participated in architecture discussions, helping evaluate frameworks, libraries, and infrastructure tools.
• Collaborated with designers and PMs to ensure features aligned with business and user needs.
• Optimized frontend performance to reduce load times and improve app scalability.
• Promoted quality and knowledge sharing through regular code reviews and pair programming.
• Contributed to UX discussions to ensure intuitive, accessible interfaces.
• Built modern, full stack applications using:
  React.js + TypeScript for frontend development
  Shadcn/ui + Tailwind CSS for custom and responsive UI
  Vite for fast bundling and dev workflow
  TanStack React Query for async data management
  Docker for local dev and deployment consistency
  Node.js APIs integrated for backend connectivity

Worked as a Frontend Developer focused on building responsive and interactive web applications using React. Involved in translating UI/UX designs into functional components, managing state with Redux, ensuring code quality through testing and debugging, and delivering features on time while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

• Developing and implementing highly interactive and responsive user interfaces using React.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and translate design mockups into functional components.
• Writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code using modern JavaScript (ES6+) standards.
• Utilizing state management libraries like Redux to manage application state and ensure data consistency.
• Conducting thorough testing and debugging to ensure the quality and stability of the application.
• Delivering requirements in the stipulated time frame.
• Troubleshooting and resolving issues reported by users, ensuring a smooth user experience.

As a React Developer, I built interactive UIs implemented simple state management with React Context and developed reusable components to improve app consistency. I collaborated with senior developers to follow best practices assisted in debugging and fixing UI issues, and integrated REST APIs for dynamic content. I worked closely with UI/UX designers to implement design mockups, participated in Agile sprints, and documented work for team collaboration.

• Building interactive UIs using React translating static designs into dynamic, responsive components.
• Assisting in state management by implementing simple state solutions like React Context.
• Developing reusable components to maintain consistency across the app and improve development efficiency.
• Collaborating with senior developers to implement best practices for component structure, data flow and performance optimization.
• Assisting in debugging and fixing bugs within the UI layer ensuring smooth user interactions and visual consistency.
• Integrating REST APIs and handling asynchronous operations via Axios or the Fetch API displaying dynamic content within the app.
• Collaborating with UI/UX designers to ensure accurate implementation of design mockups and a seamless user experience.
• Contributing to sprint planning, stand-ups and retrospectives as part of the Agile team, delivering tasks in the agreed time frame.
• Documenting work and providing technical insights for easier handoffs to other developers or teams.
