Avi Takiyar

I’m a Software Developer II focused on building interactive, high-performance web products—from core UI systems to real-time backend services. I currently build the map-creator for GreyMatter, an interactive React/TypeScript web editor for authoring warehouse floor maps over Node.js services. At Adobe Express and Adobe Color, I owned and maintained core UI systems like the Color Picker and Themes Panel built in React.js. I tracked down and fixed memory leaks and performance bottlenecks—cut per-session memory growth by ~30%—and resolved a top user-reported stability issue. I also drove measurable performance and growth outcomes: I cut Adobe Express homepage load time by 40% (5s to 3s) on low-end Android devices, implemented Google One-Tap Sign-In on Adobe Color, and grew sign-ups by 25%. I migrated key Adobe Color pages from a legacy stack to Next.js with SSR, lifting Lighthouse scores from ~70 to 95 and halving initial page load. Earlier, I built backend and frontend features at Vedantu, including integrating Cerebry’s APIs over Node.js with JWT auth and Redis caching, and raising backend query accuracy from 45% to 60% using ElasticSearch, MathPix, and MongoDB. I also enjoy hands-on full-stack work through freelance projects and open-source contributions.
