Work Experience

Senior Software Engineer

Zensar Technologies | Pune, India

Jun 2025 – Present
  • •Own end-to-end frontend for the AAA Digital Dispute Resolution platform, a legal-grade arbitration system for the American Arbitration Association (largest US arbitration administrator, ~88% market share, 180K+ annual cases) spanning case filings, evidence workflows, hearings, and arbitrator verdicts.
  • •Architected the multi-step case submission module in React and TypeScript with chunked document uploads, draft auto-persistence, schema-driven validation, and role-based UI states, replacing a fragmented legacy flow and stabilizing the platform's highest-traffic intake surface.
  • •Integrated the Claude API into arbitration dashboards with streaming responses and structured prompt design, auto-summarizing 30 to 60 page case documents into expandable navigable briefs, substantially reducing arbitrator first-pass review time and surfacing critical case context within seconds.
  • •Shipped a multi-tenant Auth0 SSO platform end-to-end (POC to production) across 3 tenant configurations, with a custom token-exchange layer, Universal Login, RBAC, and tenant-aware routing, now serving as the centralized authentication layer across multiple internal applications.
  • •Contributing to a micro-frontend modernization via Webpack Module Federation, enabling independent team deploys, shared runtime dependencies, and incremental migration away from a large legacy monolith without a big-bang rewrite.
  • •Migrated legacy build configuration to Vite, reducing build times from approximately 90 seconds to under 20 seconds (4.5x faster) and cutting HMR feedback to sub-second, directly improving team-wide development throughput.
  • •Refactored prop-drilled, unstable UI to Zustand with reusable selectors and sliced stores across filters, pagination, and async data flows, eliminating redundant re-renders and stabilizing the highest-churn screens.
  • •Established Jest and React Testing Library coverage across filter logic, role-based rendering, and async workflows, preventing regressions during weekly production releases.
  • •Drove WCAG 2.1 AA compliance via keyboard navigation, ARIA semantics, focus management, and screen-reader support, critical for legal workflows where accessibility is statutorily required.
  • •Conducted 20+ senior-level frontend interviews, led team-wide PR reviews, and mentored junior engineers, directly contributing to hiring quality and delivery velocity.

Software Development Engineer II

Harns Technologies | Mumbai, India

Jun 2021 – Jun 2025
  • •Owned and shipped the Times of India ePaper platform from scratch to production, part of the Times Group digital ecosystem (10M+ digital DAU, 60M+ app MAU; India's #1 English daily).
  • •Extended the ePaper architecture to launch 3 additional regional ePapers on the same platform, with a shared React component library and frontend architecture reused across all editions and a standalone Archive application.
  • •Spearheaded Adlob end-to-end, Times of India's unified advertisement booking platform used by 200+ media agencies, built from scratch on React with virtualized calendar inventory grids, campaign creation workflows, and booking management.
  • •Resolved a rendering bottleneck on archive views with dense paginated data through list virtualization and lazy hydration, bringing DOM render time from ~20s to under 1s and unblocking the archive product launch.
  • •Engineered the ePaper on React with SSR, Context API, Google AdSense, GTM, and analytics integrations supporting ad-revenue monetization; built a text-to-speech reader via the Web Speech API for accessible audio consumption.
  • •Delivered advanced multi-keyword archive search across years of historical editions with boolean operators, date ranges, and edition filters, enabling deep content discovery for readers and researchers.
  • •Achieved strong Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals scores across ePaper through code splitting, lazy loading, image optimization, and route-level prefetching; drove WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for a mass-market news audience.
  • •Migrated a US-based Veterinary SaaS serving 50+ hospitals from a legacy stack to Next.js; delivered core modules of Libsi Markah multilingual e-commerce (payment flow, product pages, cart) on Next.js and Redux Toolkit.
  • •Built a custom CMS for podcast and post management, enabling editorial teams to self-serve content publishing and removing engineering as a bottleneck.
  • •Mentored and led a team of 5 frontend engineers as direct reports, directing task planning, code reviews, delivery timelines, and growth conversations.
  • •Owned on-call coverage during peak-traffic production releases for major national events including general elections and the Union Budget, collaborating directly with engineering leadership and the CEO to ensure zero-downtime delivery.
