Jigar Lodaya

A passionate Senior Software Developer focused on creating innovative solutions and enhancing user experiences through technology.

About Me

I started my journey in computer science at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, where I developed a strong foundation in programming and software development. My passion for building engaging web experiences deepened during my time at the University of Calicut, where I completed my Master of Computer Applications (MCA). These formative years laid the groundwork for my expertise in frontend technologies, especially ReactJS and NextJS.

After graduating, I joined Spectrum Talent Management, where I led frontend development for the MensXP e-commerce store and built a Shopify-like theming engine for GMAS marketplace themes. Later, at Instamojo Research & Development, I pioneered customizable admin dashboards and integrated third-party services, ensuring a seamless user experience across platforms like Facebook Marketplace and Google Analytics. My ability to develop scalable and user-friendly interfaces has been key to delivering impactful solutions across different industries.

Currently, I am a Senior Software Engineer at Grid Dynamics, where I contribute to developing high-quality frontend components while maintaining a strong focus on performance and testing. My dedication to continuous learning keeps me engaged with the latest advancements in web development, and I'm excited about future opportunities to integrate AI-driven solutions into my projects.
