Hi, I’m Dhruv Patel, a Senior Full Stack Lead Engineer with 12+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance applications in regulated financial environments. I lead cross-functional teams of 8-15 engineers, specializing in React, TypeScript, and Next.js on the frontend with Java/Spring Boot and Node.js services on the backend. I’ve shipped customer-facing banking applications serving 100K+ daily users, driven frontend modernization, and implemented design systems and AI-assisted tooling to accelerate delivery. I’m pragmatic, delivery-focused, and comfortable owning both frontend architecture and backend services. I mentor engineers, drive Agile delivery, and collaborate closely with design using Figma to ensure accessible, pixel-perfect interfaces. I’ve introduced Nx monorepos, Storybook, and AI-enabled E2E testing to improve velocity while maintaining quality and security.
