About me

Hi, I'm Seema — and I trust you're doing well.

I'm a Senior Frontend Engineer at Electrum with 6+ years of ownership over the company's entire frontend ecosystem — from consumer-facing solar marketplaces to internal operations platforms. I've worked across React, Angular, TypeScript, and Node.js, and I care deeply about performance, accessibility, and interfaces that earn user trust.

Beyond the code, I've bootstrapped the frontend team from scratch: designed our hiring process, led tech interviews, onboarded engineers, and established the architecture standards and release cadence we still use. I'm the person leadership calls when there's a new problem statement and no existing playbook.

Outside of work, you'll find me with a well-brewed cup of coffee, exploring new destinations, folding origami, or deep in a good TV series. In everything I do — bold or italic, never regular. 😊
