things for
I craft fast, accessible, and thoughtfully designed interfaces. Currently focused on React + TypeScript, and obsessed with the gap between "it works" and "it feels right."
A little context.
I'm a frontend developer with 2+ years of experience building production web applications.
I've worked on enterprise tools involving large datasets, performance optimization, and UI systems — from architecture decisions to implementation.
My experience also includes building internal automation tools using Python and scripting, integrating with enterprise systems to reduce manual workflows.
I care about understanding how things work under the hood — not just using libraries, but knowing their tradeoffs.
Currently building NeatHunt, a Gmail-powered job tracker, and exploring system design and real-time applications.

How I think.
I optimize for clarity first, performance second.
- —I reach for useMemo and useCallback only when profiling shows a real problem — not as a default.
- —I think in terms of render behavior: what triggers a re-render, what owns state, and whether the split makes sense.
- —I use startTransition for updates that don't need to feel instant — filtering a list, updating a chart — so the UI stays responsive.
- —I default to the simplest solution that works. Abstraction earns its place; it doesn't get added speculatively.
- —Perceived performance matters more than raw metrics. A 200ms delay with a good loading state feels faster than 80ms with a frozen UI.
- —I read the code I write as if I'll be the one debugging it at 11pm six months from now.
Projects.
Things I've built, am building, or built to learn something specific.
NeatHunt
Tracking job applications in spreadsheets made it hard to maintain context and follow up.
I built a system that connects to Gmail, filters job-related emails, and structures them into a tracker.
It runs a multi-stage flow: query filtering, metadata classification, selective fetch, and LLM-based extraction for role, company, and status.
The frontend provides a clean interface to view and update applications without relying on the inbox.
GitTogether
A swipe-based networking app where users can express interest and connect.
Chat is enabled only after both users accept, with real-time messaging powered by Socket.io.
The frontend handles gesture interactions using Framer Motion, including drag thresholds and swipe behavior.
A key challenge was maintaining a stable socket connection across navigation, solved using a persistent socket context.
Deployed full- stack on AWS EC2 with Nginx.
aiMax
A movie discovery app that supports both keyword and natural language search.
User input is sent to an LLM with a structured prompt to generate movie suggestions.
The app then fetches detailed data from the TMDB API and displays results with trailers, cast, and metadata.
Focus was on handling asynchronous flows cleanly and designing a responsive search experience.
Where I've worked.

- —Built a desktop tool (.exe) used by engineers to validate and update large datasets
- —Automated processing of large Excel datasets across regions, reducing manual effort
- —Integrated tooling with enterprise systems to improve data consistency and workflows
Let's work together.
I'm actively looking for frontend roles. If you're building something interesting, let's talk.
