Varun Mulay is a Technical Account Manager and front-end software engineer with 8 years of experience building SaaS and e-commerce products from concept to production. He combines hands-on React/TypeScript development—contributing UI components to the widely used Material UI library—with client-facing roles that translate business requirements into reliable technical deliverables. Varun has led cross-functional teams, managed offshore engineering resources, and driven performance improvements such as a React refactor that cut API requests by 60%, saving significant server costs. Comfortable owning CI/CD, analytics, and GCP integrations, he moves quickly from prototype to MVP (notably delivering an AI video-editing MVP in two weeks) while maintaining strong stakeholder communication. Based in Ottawa, he pairs a Syracuse MS in Computer Science with practical experience shipping high-volume e-commerce sites and developer-friendly UI work.
