Hey, Himanshu here.
Full Stack Developer. Vibe Coder. OSS Contributor.
I crave quality.
Dumb enough to learn new things.
I build, break, and fix things. Mostly in that order.
Work Experience
Led multiple projects from start to finish ensuring timely delivery with focus on performance and scalability.
Genuin's web-application is short form video based social media platform where users can watch short form videos as well as engage in communities.
- Refactored legacy project code to improve performance and maintainability, reducing load time by 50%.
- Since Genuin provides white-label solutions to its clients, the platform required highly customizable theming capabilities. I collaborated closely with the design and product teams to implement pixel-perfect, client-specific designs.
- Worked with hls.js to ensure smooth ans flawless video streaming on platform.
- Implemented lazy loading and code-splitting to further reduce TTI (Time to Interactive) and improve user experience on low-end devices.
- Used TanStack Query for optimized API fetching and caching, improving state handling across the application and developer experience.
- Integrated Google's IMA SDK to enable pre-roll and mid-roll video advertisements, supporting VAST-compliant ad formats and enhancing monetization capabilities within the platform.
- Delivered and deployed white-labeled versions for clients like Ogonuts and Carlist.
Genuin's web-sdk is used to integrate Genuin's various component into client's websites, enabling high engagement through short-form videos.
- Ensured all flows(positive/negative) worked correctly on client's websites without affecting performance on consumer websites. While maintaining scalability of the codebase.
- Implemented code-splitting and dynamic chunking using Rollup to reduce the SDK’s initial bundle size by 40%, significantly improving load performance on client websites without compromising functionality.
- Built automated testing (unit and integration) suites to ensure SDK's resilience and prevent regressions on client environments, reducing QA validation cycles from 3 to 2.
- Designed SDK to provide simple integration steps while hiding implementation complexity, enabling faster client onboarding.
- Examples: India Food Network, Ogonuts.
- Built Genuin’s marketing website using Next.js and Tailwind CSS with a headless Sanity CMS integration.
- Utilized Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) and Static Site Generation (SSG) to reduce unnecessary API calls to the Sanity backend, effectively lowering backend usage and associated costs.
- Enabled the marketing team to manage and publish blogs for Genuin’s Resource Center by integrating a headless CMS, giving them full flexibility to update content without developer involvement.
- Developed dynamic blog templates and static pages to showcase company vision, updates, and key product features.
Open Source Contributions
An open-source AI-powered data analysis platform that enables natural language queries on databases.
- Developed the Trino connector for Wren-AI’s engine, enabling users to query both SQL and NoSQL databases through a unified interface. (Trino-integration. #535)
- As a result of the Trino connector development, I was featured on the Trino Community Broadcast. Watch the video below:
- Improved the UI and fixed bugs in the Wren-AI. (#746, #491)
