Hello!
I'm Karan Agrawal, a design-minded software engineer focused on building beautiful interfaces & experiences
Get in touch mr.karanagrawal@gmail.com
I'm currently working as a Frontend Lead at Speer Technologies building stuff for the web with some awesome people.
As a Software Engineer, I enjoy bridging the gap between engineering and design — combining my technical knowledge with my keen eye for design to create beautiful products. My goal is to always build applications that are scalable and efficient under the hood while providing engaging, pixel-perfect user experiences.
When I'm not in front of a computer screen, I'm probably watching Netflix while munching on a bag of Bhujia Sev, listening to music, watching random stuff on YouTube, or crossing off another item on my bucket list.
I'd love to discuss potential opportunities. Exploring opportunities to connect and work with new people excite me!
I’ve picked up a wide array of skills over the past 5 years working as a full-time Software Engineer, and I aim to improve these skills everyday. Here are a few of the technologies that I have experience with:
- JavaScript (ES6)
- TypeScript
- HTML/CSS
- Python
- C/C++
- React
- React Native
- NextJS
- Webflow
- Wordpress
- Git & GitHub
- Chrome DevTools
- Postman
- Figma
- Zeplin
In the last 5 years, I had the good fortune of working with some of the most talented folks around the world by means of a job, an internship or freelancing. Here are some of those amazing projects that I'm proud to have worked on:
