Senior Frontend Engineer at Zivver · Amsterdam, NL

Making the web simple, playful and easy for everyone.

Hi, I’m Gaurav. For 10+ years I’ve built accessible, fast web apps in React and Angular, from banking products to the Outlook add-in I work on today.

01 / About

Who I am

The short version.

I’m a front-end engineer who cares about the person on the other side of the screen: clear flows, accessible by default, fast on any device.

I’m at my best untangling hard problems under pressure and turning them into interfaces customers enjoy. Today I build Zivver’s Outlook add-in in React and Redux. Before that I spent four years at Backbase building banking products in Angular. I work closely with product, UX and backend, and bring accessibility and design-system thinking into UX sessions.
