Hi, my name is

Sanjay Bhaambhu.

Senior software engineer: React Native, React and TypeScript, and Laravel. For 10 years I've shipped production apps, games and platforms. Today I lead a five-to-six-person app team at Parag Parikh Mutual Fund, whose investor app serves 300,000+ people. Open to roles in Europe or remote.
Hello! My creative journey started in 2009, when I 3D-modeled our house and made mods for counter-strike. That transitioned to mobile app development as Android phones were getting introduced. My passion for video-games and 3D graphics led me toward making multi-player mobile games and university education got me into making web-projects. I also have an eye for good design and I try to align the design of my products to industry standards.
Here are a few technologies I've worked with recently:
  • React Native & Expo
  • PHP (Laravel)
  • React & Next.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • Python (Django)
  • Firebase & EAS
  • Godot, Unity 3D, C#
  • Java (Spring Boot)
  • TypeScript
