Akhil K - Lead Frontend Developer

01.About Me

Senior Frontend Engineer with 8+ years building scalable, high-performance web applications for enterprise eCommerce and SaaS. I've architected modular React + TypeScript foundations, built component design systems, and delivered measurable Core Web Vitals improvements across multiple enterprise clients.

My expertise spans from performance optimization and accessibility to leading engineering teams and establishing CI/CD pipelines. I've reduced perceived load times by 25-40% through strategic bundle-splitting, SSR/ISR tuning, and automated performance gates in production.

I'm passionate about developer experience and engineering culture. Whether I'm mentoring engineers, championing TypeScript-first workflows, or building tools that accelerate delivery velocity, I focus on creating sustainable solutions that elevate entire teams.
