All Things Web @ Zepto
I'm a software engineer with a passion for web applications. I currently work at Zepto, mostly focusing on web performance and improving the overall user experience. Before this, I worked at JioMart.
I’m always trying to learn and get better at what I do. A lot of my time goes into understanding how things work, fixing issues, and paying attention to small details that make a difference over time.
This space is a mix of everything I care about. I write about frontend engineering and performance, but also share thoughts from work, life, and things I’m learning along the way.

After Splitwise introduced a daily cap on how many expenses you can add, I started looking for another alternative. My requirements were simple: no restrictions on the number of expenses, no ads, no limits on attachments, no deletion of old history, cross-platform access, and a clear user experience. Since I could not find an app that checked all these boxes, I decided to build SplitMaadi.
In this post, we’ll look at practical clean-code patterns for writing maintainable useEffect in React. We’ll cover the “one purpose per effect” rule, when to use comments, how named functions improve readability, and when it’s better to extract complex logic into custom hooks.
A practical guide to data fetching in React Server Components. Learn when to fetch on the server vs client, how to dedupe requests with React's cache API, and patterns for sharing data across the server-client boundary using props, context, and React Query hydration.
