Building scalable products through architecture, performance & product thinking.
Staff-level Frontend Engineer with 16+ years crafting fintech and payments experiences that are fast, compliant, and built to outlast the person who wrote them.

The PUREST approach to frontend excellence.
Six principles I hold every architecture decision to, and, each one earned on a real production system, not a whiteboard.
Performance
Performance isn`t an afterthought - it`s designed into every solution through Core Web Vitals, efficient architecture, and continuous optimisation for exceptional user experiences
User-centric
Great software starts with people. Every engineering decision is shaped by user needs, product goals, and measurable customer outcomes.
Responsive architecture
Engineering adaptive interfaces that deliver consistent performance and usability across devices, screen sizes, and real-world network conditions.
Engineering Excellence
Creating sustainable engineering foundations through clean architecture, reusable platforms, maintainable code, and standards that accelerate delivery across teams.
Security & compliance
Making security a core engineering principle through secure-by-default architecture, proactive risk reduction, and engineering practices that scale with the platform.
Testability
Designing software that is observable, testable, and easy to evolve, enabling teams to deliver changes with confidence and minimal risk.
Numbers that reflect real impact.
Some of the products I've helped build.
Banxa — Checkout & Compliance
Led frontend delivery for self-custodial wallet validation (MiCA) and reworked blocking API patterns in the checkout flow.
LCP 7.0s → 3.0sNovo — Debit Card & Funding Platform
Architected the micro-frontend SPA behind Express ACH, Novo Funding, and Debit Card — later the platform's top revenue line.
60% of platform revenueSberbank — Modular Delivery Architecture
Designed reusable, independently deployable React components so teams could ship without a shared release-train bottleneck.

The person behind the code.
Hey! I'm Ankit - a frontend engineer, architect, and lifelong builder based in Melbourne. Over the past 16+ years, I've worked across fintech, payments and healthcare, helping teams build products that scale and engineering foundations that last. I enjoy tackling complex technical challenges, mentoring engineers, and finding simple solutions to difficult problems. When I'm not writing code or sketching architecture, you'll probably find me behind a camera, exploring photography as a creative outlet.
