|👋 About Me!
Hey there! I'm a Senior Software Engineer Based in Chennai | Originally from Kolkata
I'm a passionate Senior Software Engineer with a strong focus on buildingelegant, performant, and scalable web applications. With over three years of hands-on experience, I've had the privilege of collaborating with world-class teams at NexSemi Systems, Logitech,Atonarp, Charger Logistics, and ShipHaul Logistics.
My journey spans across frontend and full-stack development. From designing responsive UI components in React, Next.js, and Angular, to writing backend logic in Node.js and Python, I love building experiences that work and delight users.
I write modular, reusable components and follow best practices to deliver scalable code. I'm deeply invested in JavaScript fundamentals and bring that knowledge to tasks like optimizing large uploads, managing state, or animating UIs with Flexbox,CSS Grid, and SCSS. I focus on performance, accessibility, and a solidUI/UX foundation. I work well in Agile/Scrum teams, write tests, and use tools like Git, Docker, and gRPC in my day-to-day development.
âš½ Outside the Code
When I'm not coding, you'll find me on the football field, catching up on matches (huge Manchester United and KKR fan!), exploring new places, or lost in a good book.
🚀 Let's Collaborate
I love turning ideas into intuitive, functional software. Whether you're building something new or refining a product, I bring technical depth, user empathy, and arelentless attention to detail.
Work Experience
adept at building reusable UI components using React.js, Redux, and SCSS, with a strong focus on code reliability through extensive unit and acceptance testing. Proficient in JavaScript fundamentals, modern CSS layouts (Flexbox, Grid), and animations, consistently delivering optimized user experiences aligned with product goals. Demonstrates strong ownership, leveraging robust CS fundamentals and version control (Git/GitHub) to produce understandable, maintainable, and high-performing software.
Experienced in agile (Scrum) environments, contributing to all SDLC phases. Developed production-level front-end (JSX, SASS, Material UI, React.js hooks, Next.js) and back-end (Next.js, Python, REST APIs, gRPC) code. Key contributions include implementing notification systems, dashboards, large file upload optimization, and automation scripts. Proficient in user management, error handling, and collaborating with QA for debugging and testing. Utilized JIRA for task tracking and GitLab for version control, actively participating in sprint planning, reviews, and deployments.
Developed production front-end applications using Angular 12 (upgraded to 16), TypeScript, HTML5, SASS, and Ignite UI within an Agile/Scrum framework. Created and customized Angular components, implemented features, and ensured responsive web design (RWD). Managed the full development lifecycle (design, development, testing, implementation). Integrated with back-end REST APIs using Angular services for data exchange (POST/GET) and implemented form validations. Utilized MVC architecture, RxJS for state management, and created custom directives. Supported build automation (Maven), version control (Git), and QA testing (Cypress).
Developed full-stack web applications using Agile/Scrum methodology. Built responsive UI with ReactJS, Redux, TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS. Created backend services using TypeScript, Google Firebase, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) following MVC architecture. Implemented design patterns, managed state with Redux Saga, and integrated real-time AI, IoT systems, and external APIs. Performed testing, documentation, bug fixes, and performance optimization. Collaborated on an intelligent freight logistics platform. Used JIRA for issue tracking and BitBucket for version control.
Developed automated test scripts using Selenium WebDriver, Java, TestNG, and JUnit in Agile/Scrum environments. Implemented BDD framework with Gherkin, created test cases/scenarios, and executed cross-browser/parallel testing. Utilized Page Object Model and Data-Driven frameworks with Apache POI for Excel data. Managed synchronization via explicit/implicit waits and captured screenshots for failures. Conducted functional testing of SOAP/REST APIs and end-to-end integration testing. Configured Jenkins CI pipelines and managed code via GitHub. Used JIRA for defect tracking and participated in sprint planning/reviews. Managed dependencies with Maven and performed database validation via JDBC.
Managed procurement, including market research, supplier negotiation, and relationship management. Scheduled and supervised a team of technicians, ensuring customer satisfaction and documentation completion post-job. Created technical drawings using DraftSight and coordinated ESA inspections. Managed purchase orders, work orders, and prepared maintenance manuals. Utilized Project Management software to develop Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) and set daily targets for project tracking.
Led front-end operations, responding to CSM calls to assign cashiers to registers and manage break schedules. Trained Cashiers and Courtesy Desk Associates on new programs. Coordinated with management and sales floor to ensure adequate coverage. Resolved customer disputes and concerns at registers and service desks, making sound judgment calls. Motivated the team to achieve a 5% sales target for Walmart Rewards MasterCard applications while promoting positive public relations.
Managed procurement by sourcing parts, conducting market research, and negotiating with suppliers to secure cost-effective terms (achieving 15% cost reduction). Facilitated global logistics, arranging transportation, customs documentation, and timely deliveries while maintaining customer shipment updates. Reported directly to the MD on production/parts status. Generated new leads for parts and shipping partners, nurtured supplier relationships, and assisted accounting with payroll.
