Akhil K - Lead Frontend Engineer

01.About Me

I'm a Senior Frontend Engineer with 8+ years building scalable web platforms for enterprise and commerce products. I specialize in React, TypeScript, and Node.js, with a strong focus on frontend architecture, design systems, and API integration patterns.

I'm experienced in leading teams, defining engineering standards, and designing systems that scale across distributed teams. Whether it's architecting a multi-team commerce platform, building middleware layers, or establishing shared component libraries, I focus on solutions that balance speed with long-term maintainability.

My key focus areas include frontend architecture, commerce platforms (Shopify, Magento), design systems, and building scalable web applications. I'm comfortable working across the full stack and making architectural decisions that impact entire engineering organizations.
