I'm a Front-End Engineer, with a background in User Experience & Computer Science. Lately, I find myself tinkering with various web libraries, human-centric design patterns, animations, and all sorts of related stuff, including studying case studies to enhance user experience. Feel free to drop by if you would like to discuss on any topic, or just to say hi!
- I'm well-versed in building optimized web applications using JavaScript, CSS and HTML.
- I have experience in working with React / Ember and have also scratched the surface of other UI libraries like Gatsby, Angular and Vue.
- I have acquired basic knowledge of UX principles, wireframing and prototyping using Adobe XD / Figma, editing and layering using Photoshop and preparing case studies from gathering requirements, creating user personas to documenting focus-group testing and user interviews.
- Amongst other things in front-end, I'm interested in working with accessibility & design systems and am a contributor of global Amazon Advertising UX team.
In addition to my interests as a developer, I regularly follow design podcasts, and look for ways to expand my design thinking skills - such as through reading books (finished "Don't Make Me Think" by Steve Krug and "Sprint" by Jake Knapp, currently reading "Lean UX" by Jeff Gothelf). Moreover, I'm a fan of online courses and have recently completed some on UX fundamentals. Lastly, I also like to read blogs and documentation on industrial practices.
Some of my favourite resources are - Google Design and The Nielsen Norman Group. I consider myself fortunate to be surrounded by extremely talented designers and developers at Block (previously Square), from whom I learn new things first-hand everyday .
