👋 Hi, I’m Surya Prakash - a Staff/ Senior Software Engineer based in Bengaluru, specializing in scalable frontend architecture. Currently, I lead UI initiatives for the Search & Recommendations platform at Roku, where my work sits at the intersection of frontend engineering and machine learning. At Roku, I build complex UI tooling to support heavy AI/ML pipelines. My recent focus includes developing interfaces for AI-driven Quality Control (QC) and title deduplication, as well as tools for Deep Video Understanding (DVU). This involves building out frontend architectures for scene intelligence, actor detection, object detection for targeting ads and integrating comprehensive actor databases to streamline advanced video, scene and title analysis workflows. With over 8 years of experience in the tech industry—from high-growth startups to enterprise giants like Direct-I bridge the gap between robust backend systems and highly optimized, pixel-perfect user interfaces. As a Lead Engineer, my focus extends beyond writing clean code; I'm deeply invested in mentoring teams, establishing UI best practices, and architecting systems (like the Galaxy Design System) that empower developers to ship faster. Beyond the daily grind, I am passionate about building in public. I actively share insights on frontend engineering, system design, and career growth with a thriving community of 11,500+ followers right here on LinkedIn. 💡 What I Bring to the Table: • Technical Leadership: Driving frontend strategy, mentoring junior/mid-level engineers, and leading cross-functional delivery. • Frontend Architecture: Mastering Vue.js, React/Preact, Redux, RxJS, and TypeScript to build resilient UIs. • AI/ML Tooling: Building intuitive interfaces for complex machine learning pipelines, deep video understanding, and data-heavy workflows. • Full-Stack Fluency: Integrating with Node.js, PostgreSQL, RESTful APIs, and Firebase. • Performance & Scaling: Reducing legacy load times by 30%+, implementing micro-frontends, and ensuring robust test coverage (Jest, Cypress). Whether you want to discuss the future of streaming, the Bengaluru tech scene, or advanced UI architecture—let's connect!
