Engineering Scalable Frontend Systems
Hi, I'm Saurav Gupta — a Frontend-Focused Software Engineer
I build performant, scalable, and user-centric applications across fintech, marketplaces, and B2B SaaS platforms. With deep expertise in modern web and mobile technologies like React.js, React Native, Next.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, Node.js, and Expo, I've led teams and shipped products that blend great UX with solid architecture.
Enthusiastic about delivering purposeful and engaging web experiences.
With 9+ years in full-stack development, I specialize in leading frontend engineering with a focus on clean architecture, maintainability, and performance. I've guided cross-functional teams, mentored developers, and built systems that scale with both product needs and business growth. My work blends technical precision with a strong UX/UI sensibility, ensuring that user experiences are seamless and impactful. Whether architecting complex interfaces, driving performance optimizations, or aligning closely with product and design, I bring a builder's mindset rooted in quality, clarity, and collaboration.
