About

I’m Ashwani Rajput, a Staff Frontend Engineer with 15+ years of experience building and scaling high-performance React and TypeScript applications for fintech, enterprise finance, and global e-commerce. I lead frontend architecture end-to-end—shaping system context, API contracts, design tokens, security boundaries, and delivery pipelines—while keeping quality high through measurable performance, accessibility, and SEO outcomes.

In recent roles, I’ve architected and governed design system platforms, partnered with design tools workflows (including Figma-to-React/Next patterns), and even built Claude-powered agent workflows that help teams translate designs into consistent React code with tests and Storybook coverage. I enjoy coordinating cross-functional teams at scale, tightening CI quality gates, improving reliability for secure B2B experiences, and delivering real business impact—like supporting $1M+ monthly payments through enterprise payment journeys.
