Abhishek Sharma

As a Senior Specialist Advisor at NTT DATA, contributing to the design and delivery of scalable digital solutions across modern web and enterprise technology landscapes. Responsible for translating business and functional requirements into robust technical solutions, driving application architecture, and providing technical direction across frontend and backend development.
Key focus areas include React.js, Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, TypeScript, API-driven architectures, cloud-native solutions, and modern engineering practices. Collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders and engineering teams to define technical approaches, evaluate solution alternatives, establish development standards, and deliver secure, scalable, and maintainable applications.
Contributing across the solution lifecycle—from technical discovery and architecture/design through implementation, integration, quality, and delivery—while helping organizations adopt modern digital technologies and engineering practices.

• Architecting scalable React.js micro frontend modules for 2U's global education platform, enabling independent deployment across distributed teams.
• Collaborating on backend API design and ensuring seamless frontend-backend integration across micro frontend boundaries.
• Building high-performance, WCAG 2.0-compliant UI components with full delivery ownership; reporting
  directly to 2U client stakeholders.

• Led frontend engineering for a cross-functional team of 4–10 developers; introduced SonarQube/ESLint code review pipeline, reducing defect rates by ~30%.
• Core frontend stack: React.js, Next.js, TypeScript, Redux. Extended ownership across the backend — built Node.js/Express.js RESTful APIs, designed OKTA SSO authentication flows, and contributed to MySQL and MongoDB schema design.
• Achieved zero critical production incidents across all live deployments; optimized application load times by up to 40% through code-splitting, lazy loading, and backend query optimization.
• Designed and maintained RESTful API contracts between frontend and backend services; collaborated with database teams on MySQL and MongoDB schema design.
• Championed AI-assisted development using GitHub Copilot and LLM tools for code generation, refactoring,
  and test scaffolding — boosting team velocity by ~20% and reducing boilerplate time across frontend and backend tasks.
• Key Project: Generali Insurance Agent Portal: Full stack build — Node.js backend for dynamic PDF
  generation and automated email workflows, React.js frontend with OKTA auth — reducing agent onboarding time by 35%.
• Key Project: Incentives Importer: Designed a full stack ReactJS + Node.js ETL pipeline managing 10,000+ records with server-side validation, error handling, and audit logging.
• Key Project: Rules & Fees Engine: Built a custom query-builder UI (React.js) backed by a Node.js rules processing API, replacing manual configuration and saving ~15 engineering hours per week.

• Senior Frontend Engineer delivering accessible educational platforms and simulations for Pearson and SAVVAS; specialized in ReactJS component architecture, Phaser/Anime.js animations, and WCAG 2.0 compliance.
• Handled end-to-end feature delivery including Node.js backend API integration and service consumption alongside frontend development.
• Took full project ownership from requirements through production deployment; onboarded and trained incoming team members independently.
• Key Project: SAVVAS Learning Inc: Developed 5 Pre-K educational games in ReactJS used by 200,000+
  students across the US.
• Key Project: Pearson Virtual Labs: Built 27 interactive virtual chemistry labs with drag-and-drop functionality for secondary education.
• Key Project: ALI Science Simulations: Delivered 200 interactive simulations covering Physics, Chemistry,
  and Biology for grades 2–10.

• Built frontend interfaces using JavaScript, AngularJS, HTML5/CSS3 while simultaneously developing backend systems in PHP (CodeIgniter) and Node.js — establishing 4+ years of hands-on full stack
  ownership that underpins backend fluency in all subsequent roles.
• Designed MySQL database schemas and REST APIs consumed by self-built frontends; managed full project lifecycle from architecture to deployment for US-based education and real estate clients.
• Collaborated directly with clients to gather requirements, define technical scope, and deliver iterative releases on schedule.
