- Designed an internal TS SDK on top of amplitude’s custom SDK by extracting it into typescript interface which reduced the bundle size by 410kb compressed and gzipped, improving the DX and usage of the SDK by devs from 2x/week to 3x/day. - Defined org-wide SDK standards (analytics, feature flags, routing, linting, marketing tools) through unified interfaces, driving adoption by 400+ developers cutting down time-to-prod by 48%. - Drove performance strategy as a team org-wide, cutting P90 desktop app load time from 32s → 14s through build (better tree shaking, circular dependency elimination, bundling and compression optimisation), tooling (better practices through lint rules and CI checks), and architectural optimizations (eliminating libs, design review process setup, re-architecture of legacy UIs, service worker optimisations). - Accelerated release velocity by designing a silent update infrastructure and optimizing the update SDK for the electron app, reducing desktop app upgrade adoption from 3 months → 2 weeks. - Shaped architectural direction, leading micro-frontend PoCs and the Webpack → Rspack migration to improve build times (better local DX, HMR and app start) and bundle size. - Influenced technical strategy at the org level by aligning with leadership to balance developer productivity, app performance, and long-term maintainability.

Assembly is an intranet platform powered by AI, simplifying your day-to-day, emphasizing connecting employees and encouraging them to celebrate each other's successes dedicated to creating spaces where information is easy to find, communication is a breeze, and employees genuinely connect. - Delivered major end-to-end features crucial for the DAU/MAU metrics on time through the meticulous process of writing open design docs, building pixel-perfect components in Storybook and ensuring quality with automated e2e tests. - Contributed to multiple react-based applications like the react-native mobile app, the browser extension and a Microsoft Teams application. Led multiple core engineering initiatives with architectural changes: - Introduced service workers to reduce the initial load time of the app, which, on average, went down by 43% and the second load by 57%. - Setup a design system to support branding and integrated interaction testing using playwright within Storybook. Integrated Chromatic for a better design review process and visual regression blockade. Implemented i18n, a11y, o11y standards and frameworks within the web app and the design system. - Introducing playwright as a testing framework and multiple other large-scale initiatives like migrating react versions, splitting up a big app into various subdomains, etc. - Migration from create-react-app 4 to vite involving multiple package upgrades and migrating away from a few packages. - Led the security and compliance initiatives to ship fixes that ensure the vulnerabilities within codebase are fixed within SLAs to meet the SOC 2 Type 2 standards. - Helped with recruiting, conducting technical interviews and contributed to engineering branding by sharing technical content in Assembly's engineering blog.
