NEW DELHI · IN — 2026

Frontend engineer
building fast &
well-crafted web products.

Five years shipping production web apps across fintech, logistics, and media-tech — design systems, Shadow-DOM component platforms, microfrontend architectures, and the kind of image-heavy frontend performance work I'm doing today at Aftershoot.

A little background

Pixels, bytes, and seconds — that's where the interesting frontend problems live.

I've spent the last five years learning that the browser is a stage for craft — and that the most interesting frontend problems rarely come from the framework layer. They come from the pixels, the bytes, and the seconds the user has to wait.

Today I'm SSE-1 at Aftershoot, leading frontend on the client gallery product where photographers deliver shoots of 2,000+ images to clients through branded web galleries. I re-architected the upload pipeline for a 28% throughput lift, built fault-tolerant retry for spotty venue wifi, and shipped Infinite Gallery — windowed virtualization with progressive image loading that keeps DOM bounded no matter how deep the scroll.

Before that: SDE 2 at Zeta, where I architected a Shadow-DOM business-component platform with runtime federation and SSR host hooks. And three and a half years at Delhivery building Orca-UI, the React component library powering their internal products, plus DispatchOne — their dispatch SaaS — and a React Native driver app shipped to both stores.

02 / EXPERIENCE

Five years, four companies.

From enterprise trainee to leading frontend on a production media product.

Feb 2026 — now

Aftershoot SSE-1, Frontend

Gallery · Client Delivery · New Delhi

Leading frontend for the Gallery product — the client gallery platform photographers use to deliver shoots of 2,000+ images. Re-architected the upload pipeline for a 28% throughput lift via parallel chunked uploads and backpressure-aware queueing. Shipped fault-tolerant retry (3× exponential backoff for spotty venue wifi) and Infinite Gallery — windowed virtualization with progressive LQIP and responsive srcset.

Zeta SDE 2

Platform · Shadow-DOM Components · Bangalore

Architected a Shadow-DOM business-component platform with runtime federation and SSR host hooks — components self-bundled and version-isolated, dropping cleanly into Vue 2 or Vue 3 hosts with zero CSS bleed. Built Tenant Assets (per-tenant SSR delivery via isolated S3 + caching) and the Hercules Registry. Won the Shining Star Award in my first quarter.

Infinite Gallery

Client galleries that handle 2,000+ images without the browser breaking a sweat. Windowed virtualization with progressive LQIP and responsive srcset, bounded DOM regardless of scroll depth.

Upload Pipeline

A 28% throughput lift via parallel chunked uploads and backpressure-aware queueing, plus fault-tolerant retry with 3× exponential backoff for spotty venue wifi — because photographers shoot weddings, not in datacenters.

Shadow-DOM Platform

A runtime-federated component platform with SSR host hooks. Components self-bundle and version-isolate, dropping into Vue 2 or Vue 3 hosts with zero CSS bleed — turning tribal knowledge into a discoverable system.

Side projects, currently in flight.

Two products I'm building between contracts and weekends.

№ 01 · A side project · 2026

PingSplit

Split expenses. Just WhatsApp.

A full-featured group expense tracker with feature parity to Splitwise — create groups, log expenses, check balances, settle up — built as a web app and mobile app. The product itself is polished, but the real bet is the WhatsApp bot integration sitting on top.

Tag the bot in any group chat and it logs the expense, splits it, and updates everyone's balance — without anyone leaving the conversation. The friction of "open the app, log it, share it" is replaced by the chat that's already open.

Flick.

Reclaim 10+ GB. In five minutes.

A storage-cleaner built for the Indian smartphone reality — where WhatsApp forwards, festival greetings, status saves, and viral memes quietly fill up galleries. Apple Photos, Google Photos, and Western cleaner apps don't address this category, because they weren't built for it.

Flick scans the library, auto-categorizes by source (WhatsApp media, Status saves, QR codes, memes, screenshots, documents), surfaces what's safe to remove, and lets users review by swipe — keep right, trash left — with a 30-day undo trash so nothing is ever truly lost. Designed for confidence, not anxiety.
