I'm Sharad Roy. I've spent 6 years building products for millions users using React, React Native and TypeScript. Now I'm expanding into AI, backend, systems, and architecture. Infinitely more to learn.
Things I've brewed end to end.
Essays and long-form learnings.
I'm a frontend engineer working on becoming fullstack, and instead of rushing to write code in Node.js, I spent a week figuring out what Node is actually doing underneath. Here's what finally made the event loop click.
One long conversation with an AI assistant degrades the same way one long function does. Here's how I split my workflow into five stages, each with its own agent, its own context, and its own job.
AI can write code fast, but it has no idea whether that code survives contact with real users. Four bugs it will happily hand you, and why understanding the system underneath still matters more than ever.
One small change made my code way easier to read and maintain. Instead of nesting conditionals deeper and deeper, handle edge cases first and let the happy path speak for itself.
Where I've worked, and what it taught me.
The tools I reach for.
Say hello. The kettle's always on.
I'm open to fullstack and senior frontend roles, and I love seeing interesting products being built at scale. If you're building something meaningful, let's talk. The fastest way to reach me is a LinkedIn DM (reply within four hours), and my code lives on GitHub.
