Background

As a Full Stack Developer originally from India and currently based in the UK, I bring 8+ years of hands-on experience building scalable and user-centric web applications.


My expertise lies in Angular, React, TypeScript, JavaScript, RxJS, and AWS. I currently contribute to British Airways as a Senior Frontend Engineer, where I’ve led development across major customer-facing platforms such as seat selection, flight search, booking flows, and price breakdowns. My work has directly impacted performance, accessibility, and customer experience—making BA one of the UK’s top two accessible airline booking websites.


I’ve also engineered AI-driven solutions such as a GPT-powered booking and consultation system for Pink Beauty Salon and developed Almighty Musicals, a wholesale musical instrument platform built with React and Firebase. These projects reflect my passion for combining user experience with cutting-edge technology to deliver meaningful digital products.

Education

I completed my higher education in India, graduating in 2017 with a Bachelor of Technology degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the esteemed Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Technical University. This educational foundation has provided me with a strong basis in various aspects of computer science, which I have continuously applied and expanded upon in my professional career.
