Engineering for the web.Polished to the pixel.

Hi, I’m Nitesh Seram — a Software Engineer based in Assam, India, with 5+ years of building for the web. Currently, working at GreatFrontEnd — a platform for engineers prepping for frontend interviews. My days are React, TypeScript, and CSS problems that look trivial until they aren’t. I care about performance and the small details nobody notices.

  • Why your useState is in the wrong place
