I build performant, accessible web products in React and TypeScript, and the backends behind them in Python.
47 React components built to the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices Guide and published to npm as neelam-ui, with dual ESM/CJS builds, generated types and a documentation site at neelamui.com that consumes the built package exactly as an outside project would. All 208 Storybook stories are run against axe-core in CI, so an accessibility regression fails the build before it can merge.
A GitHub analytics dashboard that ingests pull requests, issues, commits and contributors on a schedule, then reports how long PRs take to merge and whether the backlog is growing. Redis caching took the landing request from 1,510ms to 71ms at p50, and the whole thing runs on a single-node k3s cluster for £0 a month.
A decoupled Django REST API and React SPA with Google Sign-In, JWT sessions and per-user task scoping. Tested on both sides — APITestCase on the backend, Vitest and Testing Library on the front, 34 tests in all — and deployed across two independent pipelines.
I specialise in frontend development, with a strong focus on building accessible, performant, and maintainable user interfaces using TypeScript, React, and Tailwind. I also have experience with backend development, data management, and infrastructure, which allows me to create full-stack solutions when needed using Python, Django, and FastAPI. Aside from this, I continuously explore new technologies and best practices to enhance my skill set and deliver high-quality software solutions, which you can see in my github projects over the years.
Graduated in 2023, then taught myself frontend development from scratch.
as a self taught developer
I taught myself to code while getting my degree when I decided to change direction for the millionth time. I taught myself the basics: HTML, CSS and JavaScript first, then React and TypeScript, building projects until the gap between what I could read and what I could ship closed. That got me a three-month internship which needed Vue, Nuxt and Tailwind, none of which I knew. I learned them alongside working my internship, delivered production-ready features independently, and converted to a full-time role.
The habit stuck. I basically have never stopped learning and building, constantly seeking out new challenges and opportunities to grow my skills. You can see the full journey of my development and skills in all my public projects on my GitHub.
