I build products that scale. I write clean code.
I create digital experiences.

I'm Milan Katira — a full-stack engineer with a frontend soul and backend brawn. From React components to APIs, I build performant, scalable, and delightful digital experiences.

Powered by clean code, TypeScript expertise, and modern frameworks.

I'm a full-stack engineer with a passion for building performant, scalable, and elegant digital products. With 5+ years of experience, I specialize in creating AI-driven SaaS platforms, responsive user interfaces, and modern backend systems.

I work with React, TypeScript, Node.js, and scalable design systems to architect frontends and collaborate closely with backend and product teams. I've contributed to platforms serving 20,000+ active users weekly.

Outside of engineering, I mentor junior developers, contribute to open-source, and share my learnings through articles and tech talks.

Currently focused on DX with React 18+, internal tooling, and scaling UI systems across teams with clean code and modern frameworks.
