Senior🎓
Top SchoolKunal Mandalia is a Senior Full Stack Engineer and founder with 11 years in tech and deep expertise in React, Node, and SQL across FinTech, Private Equity, aviation, maritime and more. He blends hands-on delivery with product leadership—frequently shipping solo web apps and driving major releases within months, such as a demo-grade PE knowledge app and rapid beta products at Advent International. Kunal has a track record of performance-focused optimisations (10x LLM response improvements via WebSockets, 50% query runtime reductions) and building resilient pipelines and CI-led teams. He moves comfortably between front-end UX, backend APIs (GraphQL) and infra (AWS, Azure, Heroku), mentoring colleagues on schema, types and testing along the way. As a founder he prioritises readable, testable code and long-lived products, and outside engineering runs a low-risk property venture—showing a pragmatic balance of technical ambition and business focus.
