About Me
Hello! I'm Aakash, a Senior Frontend Engineer at Squarespace based in Dublin, Ireland. I focus on enhancing the website platform by developing a Component Development Kit, empowering users with seamless and scalable solutions. My expertise in frontend technologies ensures a dynamic and efficient platform experience.
As an Extension Developer for Chrome & Mozilla, I've created browser tools that enhance developer productivity. I'm also passionate about teaching and mentoring - I've tutored over 300 students in competitive programming at Coding Ninjas, helping them improve their coding skills and land their dream jobs.
Previously, at Intercom as a Product Engineer 3, I played a key role in optimizing the onboarding process, leading to a 20% increase in user activation rates. My contributions to features like AI Chatbot and Helpdesk significantly boosted the paid customer base by 12%, and our team collectively onboarded 1,000+ new logos per month.
Before moving to Dublin, I worked with BlueStacks in Gurugram, developing authentication systems handling 1M daily token exchanges. At Samsung R&D, I researched and developed an AI Editor that reduced development costs by 80% and created a JavaScript offloading utility that cut computation load by 50%.
I'm an active open-source contributor with 119+ public repositories on GitHub, 35+ followers, and a passion for building tools that developers love. I've created browser extensions for Chrome and Mozilla, contributed to various awesome lists, and built educational resources that help developers learn and grow.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science from Maharishi Markandeshwar University, and began my career at Kony, where I worked on diverse projects improving CI/CD pipelines and building scalable marketplace platforms.
Coder by Heart ❤️ - I'm passionate about scalable architectures, user-centric solutions, and driving innovation through impactful digital experiences.
