Hi, I'm Archana.
I bridge UI excellence with AI workflows.

Senior technologist with 13+ years in front-end engineering, enterprise security platforms, sales-performance SaaS, and animation-studio tooling. Lately TypeScript, React and GraphQL, reaching into Kubernetes and Terraform when the work calls for it. I'm also open to full-stack roles, Node or Python and actively learning my way further into both.

A little more about me

Always learning

New things are the whole point. If something looks unfamiliar, that's usually why I want to try it.

Plants

They make me happy. No further justification available.

Carnatic music

A student of it, and a listener across just about every other genre.

Historical Fiction, Romance & fantasy

My reading list is almost entirely one or the other, and I'm at peace with that.

Let's talk

Hiring, collaborating, or just want to argue about CSS? I'm around.
