About Me

I'm a full-stack engineer with 9+ years of experience and a strong frontend specialism across React, TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, Elixir, and Node.js.

Steps up for the work that needs both engineering depth and product thinking - not just ticket execution.

Joined Taktikal when clients were queuing weekly requests for a developer to update their forms. Left with SmartFlows - a self-service platform that removed that bottleneck entirely, freed a full developer role, and increased the customer base. Worked across the stack: frontend architecture, conditional logic engines, rich-text editors, and managing the NoSQL data layer behind it all.

Works best in small, high-ownership teams where work is genuinely hard, and product decisions matter beyond ticket execution.

I also use AI the way a senior engineer should: by setting structured Copilot instructions that reinforce architectural standards and by applying AI-driven UX analysis in my MSc thesis at the University of Iceland, and full-stack projects built solo using AI-DLC workflows.

The sort of developer for whom the CCO voluntarily writes a glowing recommendation on LinkedIn.

I had the pleasure of working with Anuj for three years as his product manager, and he is without a doubt one of the most talented and enjoyable people I've had on a team.

Anuj is a powerful front end developer with a full stack background that made him exceptionally versatile and valuable. Our products have a highly complex front end, and he handled that complexity with skill and confidence. He was a core part of the team behind SmartFlows, our flagship product, and was instrumental in building it out, including its conditional logic functionality, a technically demanding piece of work that required both deep technical ability and a strong understanding of the product. He has the rare quality of being able to take on hard problems and deliver clean, reliable solutions without a lot of hand-holding.

Beyond his technical skills, Anuj is genuinely one of the warmest and most positive people I've worked with. He brings a kind of energy to a team that is hard to put into words but very easy to notice. He and his wife have made their home here in Iceland, and he is very much a part of the fabric of the team and the community around him.

Any company that brings Anuj on board will be getting an exceptional developer and an even better person.
