Maitrey Jukar

Engineering Manager / Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 10+ years of experience building and scaling high-traffic, production-grade web platforms.

I’ve led and built systems used at a national scale, owned architecture end-to-end (frontend, backend, cloud), and driven measurable business impact across revenue growth, funnel optimization, performance, and cost reduction.

Recently, I’ve been working on applied AI systems—integrating OCR and LLM-based workflows into real products—while continuing to lead teams and deliver reliable, scalable platforms.

🔹 What I do best:

• Lead and mentor teams (3–20+ engineers) while staying technically hands-on
• Architect frontend-heavy systems using React, Next.js, and modern JS frameworks
• Design scalable backend services and APIs (Node.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
• Build AI-powered workflows (OCR pipelines, LLM orchestration, automation systems)
• Modernize legacy systems and improve developer productivity

🔹 Highlights:

• Improved conversion funnels by 55–72% on consumer platforms
• Contributed to 25% revenue growth via internationalization and performance work
• Reduced operational costs by 12–13% through automation
• Built systems supporting 200k+ concurrent users

I’m currently open to Senior IC, Technical Lead, or Engineering Manager roles where I can build high-impact products, scale teams or systems, and work on technically meaningful problems.
