Diljit V is a Principal/Staff-level frontend engineer based in Bengaluru with over a decade of experience designing and shipping complex web platforms, and nine years of focused software engineering practice. He has driven high-impact projects across AI and performance domains—building Appsmith’s AI Assistant that boosted development velocity by 35% and implementing a RAG system with PostgreSQL vector storage, OCR, and NER pipelines. Skilled across React/Next.js, Node.js, and web performance optimizations, he has a track record of reducing render and Git-operation latencies by 50–70% and leading teams to deliver low-latency, high-availability products. A pragmatic full-stack contributor to open-source (notably Appsmith), he blends hands-on feature work—like AI editor integrations and recent-query storage—with architectural leadership on micro-frontends, CI/CD, and component libraries. Trained originally as a mechanical engineer, he brings systems thinking and a penchant for measurable performance wins to frontend engineering.
