Frontend engineering, obsessed with the user-facing detail.

I'm a Senior Frontend Engineer based in Ahmedabad, India. For the last five years I've been building production web applications across healthcare, social commerce, ride-sharing, and enterprise monitoring — the kind of products real teams depend on every day.

My core stack is React.js, Next.js, and Redux. I think in components, ship in iterations, and obsess over the parts users actually feel — perceived performance, interaction polish, and the small details that separate a tool that works from a tool people love.

Currently I'm a Software Engineer at Motadata on the ObserveOps NMS product — an AIOps platform monitoring 10,000+ devices for global enterprise NOCs. I architect Vue 2 dashboard modules, build real-time visualization pipelines (Web Workers, WebSockets, D3), and lead Vue 3 migration planning.

Beyond the frameworks, I lean heavily into AI-augmented development — Claude Code, Cursor, Claude API. I've co-authored 15+ project rule files and Claude skills used by my team to standardize conventions and ship faster.

I'm now open to remote contract and full-time roles — building React.js products, integrating AI features, or scaling existing frontends. If that sounds like you, let's talk.

How I help teams ship better products.

Three things I do consistently well — at the intersection of senior React expertise, real-time systems, and AI integration.

01 / SERVICE
React.js & Next.js builds
End-to-end React.js / Next.js applications — scratch builds, scaling existing products, component architecture, state management (Redux), routing, SSR/SSG, and performance tuning.
React.js Next.js Redux
02 / SERVICE
AI feature integration
Embed Claude / OpenAI capabilities into your React product. Smart search, content generation, summarization, RAG pipelines, vector DB integration, streaming UIs — production-grade, not demo-grade.
Claude API OpenAI Streaming UI
03 / SERVICE
Real-time UIs & performance
Lighthouse optimization (avg. +40 points), code splitting, lazy loading, Web Workers, WebSockets at scale (5K+ events/sec), and real-time visualization with D3.js, Recharts, and custom canvas.
WebSockets Web Workers D3.js

How I work with clients.

Clear, predictable, no surprises. The same process whether it's a 2-week sprint or a 6-month engagement.

— Step 01

Discovery

30-min intro call. We talk through the problem, your stack, timeline, and what "done" looks like. No pitch, just clarity.

— Step 02

Scope & estimate

I send a written scope: deliverables, weekly milestones, fixed price or hourly, what's in and what's out. You approve before I start.

— Step 03

Build & ship

Daily updates on Slack / email. Weekly demo. Code in your repo from day one. You see progress, not status reports.

— Step 04

Handoff & support

Final handoff with documentation, video walkthrough, and 2 weeks of post-launch support. Optional retainer for ongoing work.

Where I've shipped.

Five years across product companies and client services — solo contributor to enterprise teams.
