Asheer Rizvi

Hi! I'm a front-end developer, I make user interfaces and make them look noice.

Hello, my name is Asheer.

I am a design-focused front-end developer based in India. I create user interfaces with a focus on responsive design, web standards, accessibility, and performance. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science and Engineering and have been building web user interfaces, design systems, and digital products since 2017.

I hold high standards for the work that I do, and I ensure that it is:

  • Optimized for mobile
  • Fully responsive
  • Cross browser compatible
  • Accessible
  • Standards compliant
  • Performant
  • Well documented and tested
  • Follows the latest practices

Skills

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are my primary languages. TypeScript is something I like working with in large projects that are worked on by multiple developers. Besides these, I have had a decent exposure to Python, C, and C++ as well.

I have extensively used React as a UI library and have worked with frameworks like Next.js and Gatsby. Here are the various technologies with which I have worked in that endeavor:

  • For state management in React, I have used libraries like Redux, Zustand, besides concepts like state colocation and lifting state up.
  • I have done data fetching mostly through libraries like React Query, SWR, and Apollo Client.
  • For components, I prefer starting with Radix or Reach UI and adding styling on top.
  • CSS in JS is a contested topic these days, and I prefer using CSS Modules instead. Previously, I have used solutions like Styled Components, Emotion, and Stitches.
  • For testing, I have extensively used Jest, the Testing Library, and Cypress.
  • I use Mock Service Worker (MSW) for API mocking.
  • Documentation has mostly been within Storybook.

Due to the baggage that comes with React, I have been looking into alternatives like 11ty, Svelte, Solid, Astro, and Qwik. I am super interested in learning about Web Components and PWAs as well and will be adding them to my skillset very soon.

On the backend, I have some experience working with Node, Express, MongoDB, SQL, and GraphQL.

Initially, I was working on Hyphen’s front-end. Currently, I am leading the efforts to re-build our front-ends using React, Next.js, CSS Modules, Jest, the React Testing Library, Cypress, etc.

I joined as the company’s first front-end developer and worked on the front-end stack from the ground up.
