Tejal Ghuge

Lead Front End Engineer

I build fast, accessible, and modern web experiences using React 18, TypeScript, Next.js, Angular 17+, and Nx monorepos. I focus on clean architecture, reusable components, and performance-driven design. Over the years, I've modernized legacy applications, led design system builds, and delivered AI-powered user experiences used by millions of real users.

About

I'm a Lead Front-End Engineer with over a decade of experience building complex, high-traffic, and user-centric applications. I've led modernization efforts, migrated enterprise codebases to Nx monorepos, designed scalable component systems, and built AI-assisted features that improved engagement and productivity across user groups.

My work ranges from redesigning customer-facing products with React 18 and Next.js, to leading large Angular 14 → Angular 19 migrations, creating design systems, delivering real-time dashboards, and embedding LLM-powered capabilities into existing workflows. I collaborate closely with backend, design, and product partners to ship features that are fast, reliable, and intuitive.

I enjoy solving architectural problems, mentoring junior developers, and building front-end foundations that scale with the business.

    📘 Credit Based Semester and Grading System (CBSG SYSTEM) >

    I built a complete academic workflow system used by colleges under Mumbai University to automate grade calculations and exam administration. The software handled CGPI computation, admit card generation, and result processing with accuracy and speed, replacing error-prone manual tasks. It significantly improved administrative efficiency for colleges managing large student volumes.

  • 🛡️ Packet Hiding Methods to Prevent Selective Jamming Attacks project screenshot

    🛡️ Packet Hiding Methods to Prevent Selective Jamming Attacks >

    I built a secure message-passing application that protects communication channels from selective jamming attacks. The system works by encoding and decoding messages using packet-hiding techniques, ensuring that adversaries cannot identify or disrupt specific packets. This project strengthened my understanding of network-layer threats, confidentiality models, and secure data transmission.
