EXPERIENCE
Senior Software Engineer (React / Java) Thales Australia | Jul 2022 – Dec 2024 (2.5 yrs)
As a Software Engineer in role, I performed 70% on frontend development while contributing 30% to backend
APIs. I designed and built the frontend from scratch, creating a React-based architecture with Redux and a
scalable UI component library. I established the baseline for reusable components, ensuring a sleek design
system that seamlessly integrated with Redux, optimized API consumption, and improved rendering
efficiency to enhance performance and user experience, I implemented optimized React web rendering
reducing unnecessary re-renders and improving efficiency. I also integrated a map rendering library for real-
time graphical visualization, making the frontend interactive and fully operational for air traffic controllers.
My work involved a Proof of Concept (PoC) development, while continuing to shape the frontend’s structure
and framework before full-scale implementation. As the project progressed, it received a runner-up
nomination Thales wide due to its impact and on-time delivery.
