I’m a frontend focussed software engineer, who enjoys creating clean, interactive and meaningful user interfaces.

It all started in college when I built a student enrolment form for NSS team. That project opened my eyes to the power of the frontend how even a simple confirm box can shape a user’s experience. I’ve been hooked ever since, drawn to the challenge of crafting user interfaces.

I love the process of turning ideas into thoughtful web apps and also enjoy the process of reengineering legacy or under-optimised applications, modernising them with the right tools and practices that aligns with the product vision and the team’s workflow.

After a meaningful break filled with parenting, travel, and side projects, I'm back—curious, recharged, and ready to build great products.
