About Vijay Thirugnanam

Summary

  • Want to build successful products.
  • Freelance React / React native developer since 2016.
  • Web and mobile app developer.
  • IITM Alumni and ex-Microsoft employee.

I want to be part of a product team working on a product from scratch. But at the same time, I want to be able to select product / teams which will eventually become successful – either have a wide audience or be profitable.

Please feel free to ask me questions about React in either my blog or StackOverflow. I will be glad to answer.

Channels


Products contributed (> 1 year of association)

Products for which I contributed as the primary developer. These are my major work since 2016. I worked more than a year on each of the below products.

Data Analytics Dashboard for Diversity and Inclusion (3+ years)

Built dashboards and custom charts using React. Implemented designs provided by an ex-Google designer. Some of the tougher parts of the project were resizing charts and drag-and-drop of charts within a dashboard. Working part-time from Jan 2018 and still working with them.

Software Audit Management Platform (2+ years)

Built tables and forms using React. Some of the forms were very complex with lot of functionality. There was no designer involved in this work. But we used Antd for consistent UI components. Worked from Aug 2016 to Jul 2018.

GIST (1 year)

Built this app using React native. Worked a lot with FlatList to display product feed. Apart from that, worked in integrating a lot of third-party react native packages into the product for various functionality. The app uses Firebase platform a lot – deep linking, crash analytics, real-time database, etc. Worked from Dec 2019 to Nov 2020.
