Building cross-platform mobile & web experiences with React and React Native — from Gurugram, India.

About Me

I'm a Senior Software Engineer based in Gurugram, India, focused on cross-platform mobile and web development with React and React Native.

I care about clean, scalable architecture — monorepos, micro-frontends and module federation — and about shipping fast with modern tooling and AI-assisted workflows. I've taken products from ideation through development, testing and production, collaborating closely with managers, analysts and QA.

Currently at FabHotels | TravelPlus, where I work on streaming flight-search experiences and modular React Native architecture.
