About

I'm an engineering leader who came up through frontend craft. Over 18+ years I've architected scalable, mobile-first web and cross-platform apps, built design systems that move teams faster, and led engineers across India and the US. I pair deep frontend fundamentals — React, accessibility, performance — with platform and design-system strategy, and increasingly build with AI to ship high-impact products without compromising quality.
