Ashish Kumar
Senior Frontend Engineer crafting design systems & component libraries at Allica Bank. Making interfaces fast, accessible and a little bit fun since 2019.
About
I'm a developer, an explorer, a music buff and a home cook. Currently I build and maintain the design system that powers every frontend team at Allica Bank — one component library, many products.
I started out in 2019 writing JavaScript games, spent three years at Rakuten building the Rakuten Music web app and its component library, and have been obsessed with the space between design and engineering ever since.
When I'm away from the keyboard, I'm probably grooving to 90s Bollywood or perfecting a recipe in the kitchen.
