04  ·  About

Lead with taste.
Scale with systems.

I'm Manohar — today I spend my days in React 18, Next.js and ReactFlow at Netomi. Before that I lived inside a Vue codebase at Eros Now, wrote scrapers at Finicity, and started my career writing PolymerJS at Capgemini back in 2016.

The through-line is systems: component libraries that make the right thing easy, microfrontend architectures that let teams ship independently, and review habits that raise the floor without flattening the ceiling.

Outside code, I've always cared about team craft — running reviews, mentoring, and for a while hosting Frontend Darbar, a bi-weekly forum where we shared what we learned, what broke, and what we were trying next. Favourite kind of meeting.

I LEAD BY
Code reviews

Rigorous, kind, specific. PRs are where team culture is built.

I OPTIMIZE FOR
Ship velocity

Fewer meetings, better tooling, stronger defaults.

I BELIEVE IN
Design systems

One Button, one Input, one Dialog. The rest is garnish.

I'VE HIRED
Engineers I'd follow

Interviews focused on taste, curiosity, and rigor.

05  ·  Stack

The toolkit.

Things I use most. I care less about the stack and more about the rigor of the reasons behind it.

Let's build
something good.

I'm happiest building product with thoughtful teams — and always up for a good conversation about microfrontends, design systems or the craft of shipping. Freelance and advisory work welcome too, if the problem's interesting. Whether you want to trade notes, collaborate on something, or just say hi: the inbox is open.
