Frontend Platform & Architecture

I build the frontend platforms behind everyday products — shipping React, TypeScript, and Module Federation to 1.05M daily users at India’s largest ed-tech. Specialised in performance engineering, micro-frontends, and the kind of platform tooling that lets distributed teams move fast without breaking each other.

§ 01 — Impact

Frontend infrastructure that moves the graph.

Three years of compounding wins on a platform that sees over a million people every day. The numbers below were measured, monitored, and shipped — not estimated.

§ 02 — Work

Selected work, told as case studies.

Three years of compounding platform decisions at Physics Wallah, plus an earlier research stint. Each card is the short version — the resume goes deeper.

01

Real-time mentorship platform

Physics Wallah
Aug 2024 —
Present

Owned end-to-end build of the company’s mentorship business line. Engineered WebSocket-based messaging, Agora SDK audio/video calling with screen sharing, voice notes, file uploads, and automated read receipts. Architected a Container–Presenter UI backed by 25+ custom React hooks managing session timers, monetisation flows, and complex async state.

02

LMS micro-frontend migration

Physics Wallah
2023 —
2024

Led the full migration of the LMS from a legacy iframe-based monolith to Module Federation micro-frontends — enabling independent deployments and modular team ownership across the platform. Drove a 10% increase in web user traffic; the platform now handles 1.05M daily active users.

03

Design system & component library

Physics Wallah
2023 —
Present

Designed and shipped a company-wide design system and UI component library with multi-theme support, CSS Modules, and Storybook documentation. Eliminated duplicated UI work across product teams and standardised accessibility patterns end-to-end.

04

In-house SDKs & observability

Physics Wallah
2024 —
Present

Architected and maintained an SDK suite — auth, API clients, feature flagging, contextual config, analytics — standardising integrations across every micro-frontend. Built a Core Web Vitals auditing pipeline wired into Sentry to surface regressions across critical user flows.

05

Engineering practices & reliability

Physics Wallah
Ongoing

Established frontend engineering standards across repositories: coding conventions, semantic versioning, code-review workflows, reusable boilerplates, and CI-friendly tooling. Ran performance and security audits to improve runtime reliability and maintainability platform-wide.

06

Workflow simulation & resource allocation

IIT Ropar · Project Intern
Dec 2021 — Jan 2022

Developed a data-driven simulation model to optimise chemical process workflows, delivering a 20% improvement in process efficiency. Proposed a utilisation-based resource management strategy with measurable potential to reduce operating costs and improve sustainability.

§ 03 — Capabilities

The toolkit, opinionated.

Languages and tools I’ve shipped to production, organised by where they live in the stack. Bias toward what scales: micro-frontends, design systems, performance engineering.

§ 04 — Recognition

Awards, leadership, and the occasional rabbit hole.

A short list. The throughline: shipped impact, then communicated it.

2025

Star Performer & Champion-of-the-Quarter Nominee

Physics Wallah · Engineering

Recognised by executive leadership for delivering high-impact platform and infrastructure solutions, and for consistently exceeding delivery and reliability expectations across cross-functional engineering work.

2025

GATE 2025 Qualified

Data Science & Artificial Intelligence

Demonstrated strong analytical and problem-solving foundations across algorithms, probability, statistics, and data analysis — complementing day-to-day systems work with formal CS rigour.

2022

Best Delegate — International Press

Model United Nations · NIT Srinagar

Awarded for research rigour, structured analysis, and communication clarity — recognising professional integrity in covering committee proceedings under pressure.

2020 — 2023

Technical Club Lead

National Institute of Technology, Srinagar

Organised hackathons, workshops, and technical sessions for 200+ participants — driving campus-wide technology adoption and collaborative innovation across cohorts.

§ 05 — Education

Trained as a chemical engineer, working as a software one.

Four years of systems thinking from a tier-one Indian engineering school — mathematics, simulation, optimisation — that turned out to map cleanly onto frontend platforms.
