Dhanish Gajjar
Frontend Developer | Indie App Maker
Summary
Frontend developer with 8+ years of experience in React, TypeScript, and the web stack. For the past two years I've also been building native apps for Apple platforms using Swift and SwiftUI — I've shipped two apps to the App Store. I lean heavily on agentic coding to move from idea to shipped product quickly. I have a design background, which shapes how I approach UI work.
