Senior Software Engineer
Frontend • 4+ Years • India
I build universal apps for Web, iOS, and Android, focusing on UI architecture, design systems, and performance.
Through platform-aware thinking and attention to detail, I build fast, consistent UIs that feel native across devices, while balancing shared and platform-specific behavior.

Next.js • React • Tailwind CSS • shadcn/ui • React Query • react-hook-form • Zod • Strapi • Turborepo • Vitest
Built and shipped multiple core modules for a large-scale consumer web platform using Next.js App Router. Owned UI development, server and client data integration, CMS-driven content, performance optimizations, and testing.
Implemented 5+ core user-facing modules including Profile & Settings, VIP & Redemption workflows, Landing pages, and Location-based services. Built responsive, accessible UIs using Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui.
Implemented server-side data fetching and mutations using React Server Components and Next.js Server Actions. Used React Query on the client for caching, background updates, and interactive data flows.
Designed and integrated CMS-driven content by defining Strapi collections, schemas, and content models. Integrated CMS APIs to power dynamic landing pages and feature modules.
Implemented robust form handling and validation using react-hook-form and zod for type-safe schema validation across all user input flows.
Improved Lighthouse scores to ~80–90 by fixing image optimization and loading strategies. Enhanced accessibility with semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, and contrast improvements.
Wrote unit tests for shared hooks and utilities using Vitest and Testing Library. Contributed within a Turborepo monorepo setup.

Nx • Next.js • React Native • Expo • MobX • Axios • Mapbox • Azure B2C • NativeBase
Built a unified web and mobile food ordering platform for a restaurant group operating 11 restaurant brands in the US. The platform used a shared monorepo for Next.js (web) and React Native (mobile), allowing all brands to launch from a single codebase. Implemented design system theming and UI library integration so each brand could have distinct design while sharing component foundations. Contributed across ordering, catering, dine-in, menu search, receipt management, private dining, and Togo delivery modules.
Set up shared navigation, state management (MobX), and a scalable Axios service layer. Worked on UI components and design tokens to maintain consistency across platforms and brands.
Worked with backend teams during the migration from ATG to a cloud-based API. Helped shape response schemas to match frontend needs and resolved integration breaks during rollout, especially around ordering and fulfillment flows.
Integrated Azure B2C for customer login, profile, and account flows. Coordinated with client teams on redirect behavior, identity configuration, and multi-brand identity rules.
Addressed operational constraints including timezone/DST scheduling, geofence eligibility, and Play Store compliance. Researched multiple map providers and built POCs to compare cost and rendering behavior. Implemented a hybrid map strategy by using static maps for read-only views and initializing dynamic maps only on user interaction. This reduced mapbox billing without affecting user flows.
Coordinated with design, backend, QA, and client stakeholders throughout feature development. Took ownership of modules end-to-end, from requirement clarification to release. Took ownership during periods without a dedicated technical lead, helping clarify priorities and keep the team unblocked through delivery.

Software Engineer
React • Redux • Webpack 5 • Koa
Worked on a furniture e-commerce mobile site focused on upgrading the frontend and improving performance metrics. Migrated the application from React 15 to React 16.8 while maintaining backward compatibility and resolving breaking library changes.
Optimized Webpack 5 bundling, added code-splitting, and enabled gzip compression to reduce JavaScript bundle size and improve load times. Fixed font loading and CLS issues to improve FCP and LCP. Lighthouse scores increased from ~20–25 to ~70–75 across multiple pages.
Worked with QA during regression testing to verify performance improvements and document before-and-after metrics.
Integrated the react-native-godot (by borndotcom) into an Expo/React Native app with touch-driven input, running on iOS and Android. A custom Expo plugin automates Godot asset packaging during the build process.
Enables API response mocking for Axios directly inside React Native DevTools, allowing responses, status codes, and delays to be modified without backend changes. Built as a plugin for the Rozenite debugging surface for DevTools.
Demonstrates Android 16's new progress-centric notifications using Expo, React Native, and Firebase Cloud Messaging, showing server-driven progress updates for food-delivery style workflows with promoted system UI surfaces.
Implements iOS Control Widgets using @bacons/apple-targets for system-integrated toggles and actions across Control Center, Lock Screen, and Action Button, powered by WidgetKit with state syncing from the app.
Implements Live Activities for order tracking using ActivityKit, with @bacons/apple-targets handling the required Apple target setup in an Expo project. Presents real-time status on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, including interactive user actions such as cancellation.
Experimental Expo Config Plugin for adding Android Glance widget support to React Native/Expo apps. Automates native setup, generates Kotlin boilerplate, and enables widget updates directly from Expo. Includes support for widget provider configuration, layouts/assets, data storage, and optional configuration activities for user-driven setup.
Demonstrates interactive link previews inspired by X/Twitter, allowing users to engage with posts while browsing linked content within a React Native app.
Showcases animated OTP input components with smooth transitions and visual feedback in Expo, including glow effects, post-success animations, and a bottom-sheet UI.
Interactive animation prototype featuring draggable tiles, particle-based confetti, dynamic color transitions, and haptic feedback. Built with Reanimated and Skia for high-performance visuals.
Implements word-synchronized lyric animations using Enhanced LRC timing, auto-scroll transitions, and fine-grained text highlighting. Built with Reanimated and Skia.
Recreates Apple's Breathe app animation using React Native Reanimated, with rhythmic timing and layered expansion effects.
Introduced support for Control Center control reloading, exposing APIs to request template reloads from the app via reloadControls and reloadAllControls. This allows controls to update their UI when app state changes, keeping Control Center in sync without manual widget updates.
