About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over five years of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications and enterprise platforms. I specialize in MERN-stack and TypeScript development, software architecture, and end-to-end product engineering.

I build responsive, accessible, component-driven interfaces using React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, and modern frontend patterns. I focus on reusable design systems, strong type safety, performance optimization, and reliable cross-device user experiences.

I also work across backend and data layers with Node.js, Express.js, PHP, Laravel, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Supabase. My experience includes secure authentication, authorization, role-based access control, real-time functionality, and API-driven architectures.

I have led delivery for healthcare, education, recruitment, restaurant, and hotel-booking products. I take ownership from requirements gathering and technical design through implementation, testing, deployment, maintenance, and continuous improvement.

I enjoy setting engineering standards, mentoring developers, reviewing code, resolving complex technical issues, and collaborating with product, design, and business stakeholders. I also have experience delivering technical training programmes and automating operational workflows with Google Apps Script and AI-assisted tools.
