Hey, I’m Shiv – a Senior Software Engineer and Frontend Tech Lead currently at 9fin , where I lead exploratory initiatives and build AI-enabled features designed to increase product stickiness and reduce time-to-value.

Before engineering, I spent four years as the founder of One Boutique, a sustainable fashion brand. During that time, I negotiated retail deals with Topshop and won ASOS awards. This experience allows me to view engineering through a commercial lens, ensuring technical decisions drive real business strategy.

Today, I also consult with e-commerce and small businesses through my boutique agency, Epicure Creative, where I design smart technical systems, develop sales strategies and develop and high-impact customer journeys that turn traffic into revenue.

Works in Progress

• Mood Reader — A browser extension for a calmer, more readable web (TypeScript/React).
• A video series on transforming buggy semi-complete apps into a production-ready product to provide a pathway for real-world product engineering in more mature codebases than are typically available.
• Moments of Delight — A UI kit for high-retention micro-interactions.
