Arron Kukadia
Senior Frontend Software Engineer
A Senior Frontend Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience delivering high-impact web and mobile applications for thousands of users using TypeScript, React, and React Native. I have a proven track record of owning features end-to-end, from initial design alignment to App Store release/ production deployment - with a deep commitment to UI/UX and product-first engineering. Having successfully led major architectural refactors, I have established cleaner, scalable codebases that directly unlock faster and safer feature development.
My technical approach integrates AI-assisted workflows for maximum efficiency and a dedicated focus on Developer Experience (DX), including mentoring engineers and leading Frontend Chapter meetings. My career spans high-growth startups like Olio to global enterprise environments including IBM and nCino.
