Pradeep Gupta

Senior Frontend Engineer who cares about craft

8+ years in frontend. Two companies I helped build got acquired. Now shipping fintech at Paylocity, building AI products on the side, and mentoring the next wave of engineers.

Crafting interfaces that
feel right

I've spent the last 8 years obsessing over how things look and how they work under the hood. I've led frontend at fintech and SaaS companies — two of which got acquired (Airbase → Paylocity, Fyle → Sage). Along the way, I shipped design systems, wrangled micro-frontends, and built the kind of complex financial UIs where a misplaced decimal matters.

What I actually enjoy most: making things fast, making them accessible, and making sure the team around me is growing. I took a product's NPS from +8 to +40 by just listening to users and fixing what bugged them. Lately, I've been building AI-powered side projects — and got certified by Anthropic in agent design and AI fluency, because I think that's where frontend is heading.

Where I've built things

Oct 2024 — Present Current
Paylocity
Senior Software Engineer
  • Built a shared component library that unified the mobile apps — cut code duplication by 40% and finally got mobile and web on the same page
  • Owned PCI DSS compliance end-to-end: CSP headers, SRI hashes, automated third-party script auditing. The kind of work nobody sees until something goes wrong
  • Cleaned up 10+ stale LaunchDarkly flags that were silently causing rollout bugs — feature flag debt is real
  • Spotted redundant Google Maps API calls nobody noticed — fixed it, saved real money
  • Shipped virtual cards on mobile and integrated pricing modules for bundled card + expense products
  • Mentoring 3 junior engineers — code reviews, architecture walkthroughs, the works
Apr 2022 — Sep 2024
Airbase
Senior Software Engineer
Acquired by Paylocity
  • Ran frontend for the Money Movement squad — risk, cards, reconciliation. The part of fintech where things get complicated
  • Worked directly with AMEX, Marqeta, SVB, and Airwallex to ship card programs across multiple markets, including Europe
  • Built an Account Aggregator Framework that turned a week-long integration into a 2–3 day job
  • Pushed for proper testing and CI — user escalations dropped 60%, prod bugs dropped 50%. Boring but effective
  • Added MFA to the platform — unauthorized access incidents fell 75%
  • Shipped Spend Controls and Employee Benefits cards, which cut a lot of manual admin work for customers
Oct 2019 — Apr 2022
Fyle
Member of Technical Staff III
Acquired by Sage
  • Rewrote the admin portal frontend from scratch — built a component library that other teams actually wanted to use
  • Took the product's NPS from +8 to +40 in 18 months. Mostly by instrumenting with MixPanel, watching what users actually did, and fixing the friction points
  • Added SSO, role-based access, and IP restrictions — which unlocked a wave of enterprise customers who needed those checkboxes
  • Upgraded the Angular stack, load times dropped 30%. Users noticed — retention went up
  • Ran a focused bug sprint that wiped out 90% of reported issues. Sometimes the best feature is fewer bugs
May 2018 — Sep 2019
Ajatus Software
Software Developer
  • Built the NowGrocery app (mobile + web) — sales went 5X within three months of launch. First time I saw code directly move a business number that dramatically
  • Built tire performance analytics for CEAT that tracked 1 lakh+ km per tire — my introduction to data-heavy dashboards
  • Shipped an asset tracking system for Indigo Airlines. Turns out airlines lose a lot of equipment
  • Set up the team's first CI/CD pipeline and mentored 3 interns through their first production deploys
