Hey, I'm Muthaiyan 👋

I'm a Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable web applications. I care about clean code, great user experiences, and shipping products that actually work.

Currently, I work at Delightree as a Senior Frontend Engineer, owning the frontend architecture and driving web performance for a franchise operating system. Previously at Catalyst by Zoho, where I built a Generative AI product, a frontend hosting microservice, and developer tooling used by thousands of developers.

I love coding in my free time and constantly seek opportunities to learn, collaborate, and work on new projects with like-minded people.
