React Native · Full-Stack · AR/MR · Manchester, UK
I build mobile and full-stack applications that real people use every day. One of my projects crossed 1M+ downloads. I care about clean architecture, performance, and shipping things that actually work at scale.
I'm a Senior Software Engineer based in Manchester, originally from India. I moved to the UK to complete my MSc in Managing Innovation and IT at the University of Salford and have been building my career here since.
Over the past 5 years I've worked on everything from a 1M+ download food ordering app to real-time AR social networking, fintech POS platforms, and community management tools. I've owned products end to end — architecture, build, testing, release management, the lot.
I work best on teams that care about what they ship and why. I'm comfortable doing deep technical work and equally comfortable in conversations with product owners and stakeholders when something needs explaining clearly.
Outside of work I'm genuinely interested in AR and mixed reality, what AI is doing to the way we write software, and building things that solve real problems for real people.
Five years of hands-on experience across the full stack — from React Native on mobile to AWS in the cloud.
Not side projects — production systems used by real people, at scale.
One of the most-downloaded food ordering apps in the US. I built the ordering flow, Tropic Rewards® loyalty system, offline order support, and custom animations. Shipping something used by hundreds of thousands of people daily teaches you things no side project ever can.
Greenfield fintech platform for high-frequency point-of-sale environments. I designed the architecture, built the transaction workflows, handled secure API integrations with retry logic, and owned delivery end to end. High concurrency, low tolerance for failure.
AR social app showing nearby users as real-time data overlays in your physical environment using Google ARCore. I built Bluetooth and GPS proximity detection and integrated blockchain-verified profiles. One of the more technically ambitious things I've shipped.
Full-stack community platform consolidating Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord into one real-time dashboard. I was the sole tech lead — designed the architecture, built web and mobile apps and the backend, managed AWS deployment, and shipped to Google Play Store.
Formal qualifications and continuous learning alongside 5 years of production experience.
Strategic and systems thinking applied to technology-driven innovation. Complemented 5 years of engineering experience with business and leadership context.
Core computer science fundamentals — algorithms, data structures, software engineering principles, and systems design.
Shipped React Native apps to 1M+ users across iOS and Android. Deep expertise in performance, offline architecture, state management, and CI/CD release management.
Deployed and managed cloud infrastructure on AWS supporting 10,000+ concurrent users at 99.8% uptime across consumer and fintech platforms.
Built and shipped Tiluf — a real-world AR social networking app using Google ARCore with real-time proximity detection and blockchain integration.
Daily use of AI pair-programming tools for chain-of-thought architecture prompting, automated test generation, and PR summarisation to accelerate delivery.
Open to Senior and Lead roles in React Native, full-stack, and AR/MR. Remote, hybrid, or on-site across the UK.
