Experience
Work Experience
3 years building real products across startups and agencies. Shipping features, solving real problems, measuring outcomes.
Frontend Developer
New Delhi, India
- Engineered frontend for a white label multitenant Travel Booking Platform with CMS driven vendor customization; each client fully branded without code changes.
- Owned the complete flight and hotel booking flow: search, filters, fare display, seat selection, and multistep checkout with session persistence so users never lose progress mid flow.
- Handled 1,000+ flight results and 6,000+ hotel listings per search using paginated result lists, memoized selectors, and debounced inputs to keep the UI smooth under load.
- Built real-time agent-client inbox with Socket.IO for messaging; used Server Sent Events (SSE) to stream large search result datasets progressively to the UI as they arrive from providers, keeping the interface responsive and avoiding blocked renders across thousands of results.
- Developed workspace features: CRM module for contacts, leads and travellers; invoicing with PDF export via jsPDF; and a financial dashboard covering cashflow, payments and receivables via Recharts.
- Normalised flight operator and hotel provider data into a unified schema, decoupling the UI from backend contract changes and reducing API handling code significantly.
- Built a Backend for Frontend proxy layer in Next.js API routes to keep API keys server side, centralise validation, and add token refresh retry logic.
- Enforced frontend security: JWT in httpOnly cookies, silent token refresh, rate limit aware retry with exponential backoff, DOMPurify for XSS prevention, and Zod validation on all API payloads before state commits.
Frontend Engineer
Noida, India
- Led frontend development for a portfolio of 3 product websites, delivering fully responsive designs that achieved 90+ in performance and accessibility scores.
- Engineered a custom in-house CMS with React.js, creating an intuitive interface that increased the content team's efficiency by 60%.
- Improved page load times and Core Web Vitals by 70% by implementing server side rendering (SSR) and strategic caching mechanisms.
- Partnered with UI/UX and backend teams to integrate robust RESTful APIs, leading to an 80% reduction in frontend related bug reports.

Beyond the Code
What keeps me going
When I'm not shipping code, you can find me working out, exploring new places, playing volleyball, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. Music fuels the late night coding runs, here is the track I last had on.
Testimonials
What Clients Say
A few words from the people I've built with.
Shivam took a rough idea and turned it into a product that actually shipped. Communication was direct and fast, and the final build did more than we scoped.
Aarav Mehta
Founder, TravelDesk
The site loads instantly and ranks well now. He rebuilt our frontend end to end and the difference in performance was immediate.
Priya Nair
Marketing Lead, Growthly
Our content team finally moves without waiting on a developer. The custom CMS he built is exactly what we needed and nothing we did not.
Daniel Okafor
Product Manager, Estately
Clean, well typed code and a handoff that made sense. Onboarding a new engineer afterwards took days, not weeks.
Sara Lindqvist
CTO, Ledgerworks
He understood the Web3 side and the product side at the same time. We shipped four connected products as one coherent system.
Marcus Bianchi
Co-founder, ChainStack
Reliable, fast, and genuinely invested in getting it right. I have already sent two other founders his way.
