02 / Professional experience
From my first UI components to enterprise websites, I've learned by building alongside people who care about the details.

Worked with cross-functional teams on Avanade.com: CMS-driven interfaces, search integration, and reusable components. Also contributed to Avanade Collab, a SharePoint mentor-mentee platform with automated workflows.
Application Development Associate
Helped modernize UChicago Medicine's legacy interfaces with Next.js, Sitecore, and Storybook. On SAUDIA, worked on frontend fixes, multilingual interfaces, and accessibility testing with NVDA.
Developer Trainee
Built responsive UI components and full-stack features, supported API integrations, and learned through code reviews, debugging, and Agile delivery.
03 / How I think
I think about the person using the interface: what they need next, what feels clear, and what works with a keyboard as well as a cursor.
The small-screen layout. The empty state. The feedback after a click. I give these details the same care as the first impression.
I like making ideas tangible early, sharing them, and learning from what works. A useful experiment makes the next decision clearer.
04 / A little about me
I'm Arpita, a frontend engineer drawn to the space where engineering meets UI and UX.
I enjoy turning design ideas into interfaces that feel considered: responsive layouts, accessible interactions, and the small details that make something pleasant to use.
My work spans enterprise websites and independent experiments. Both give me a chance to ask better questions, try new tools, and keep refining how I build.
Thoughtful interfaces. Playful interactions. Better ways to build both.
05 / Let's connect
Whether it's an opportunity, a collaboration, or just a good idea, I'd love to hear about it.
