Experience

    Created and maintained algorithms for orderflows (buy, manage, rebalance, exit) in investment platforms for Indian/US equities and mutual funds. Fixed ROTA tasks with end-users, enhanced DX by adding storybook and maintaining component libraries on GitHub and npm. Managed multi-platform releases, mentored new hires, conducted interviews, and solved engineering problems like adding TypeScript support to Redux. Worked on POCs for various tools, upgraded Webpack and React, and enforced best practices through code reviews, internal talks, and blog writing.

    Was a part of the COE (center of excellence) team, conducted code reviews, developed multiple POCs, and assisted teams in overcoming blockers while enhancing code quality. Built several products from scratch, selecting the tech stack and implementing scalable, performant code with minimal bugs. Enhanced business specifications by prioritizing accessibility and user experience. Efficiently handled heavy frontend data (100MB+) and improved performance in React versions prior to 16.8, without using hooks.

    There are a countless number of shortcuts, I am only writing the ones that I use daily.
