I'm an independent consultant and frontend engineer helping startups (and a few large organizations) bring new products to market since 2012.
I can help you with:
- Building an MVP of your product to put in front of investors and early adopters.
- Overhauling existing products by adding major new features, fixing performance bottlenecks, or paying off tech debt.
- Helping your team get up to speed with emerging technologies (currently interested in helping with TypeScript, modern React, the Jujutsu VCS, and LLM-driven programming).
- Modernizing legacy products and migrating them off legacy tech stacks.
- Acting as a bridge between your design and engineering teams.
I'm primarily a frontend developer comfortable with vanilla HTML/JS/CSS as well as more complex frameworks (mainly React, but I've worked with others). I enjoy being a heads-down technical contributor to codebases. However, working with early-stage companies has allowed me to dabble in UX design, hiring, mentoring, technical writing, technical workshops, and product design. I enjoy wearing a ton of hats, and prefer to work at orgs that allow me to use the full set of my abilities.
I enjoy using LLMs, but I do so responsibly. I write regularly at https://ankursethi.com/.
I'm currently looking for short to medium term contracts (think 6-8 months).
