Building enterprise-grade internal frameworks and developer tooling that empower engineering teams to ship faster

About Me

Hello, I'm Saravanan

A passionate Frontend Framework Engineer and continuous learner who thrives on taking initiative and seeing projects through to completion. I specialize in building enterprise-grade internal frameworks, AI-powered developer tooling, and automation systems. Currently at Lowe's, I architect and maintain scalable React 18-based internal framework using Adapter Based architecture, enabling seamless plugin-based extensibility for engineering teams across the organization.

I'm pioneering AI-enhanced developer experiences by building an MCP (Model Context Protocol) for our internal design system and developing a Price Matching Website using Claude and ChatGPT. As the winner of design-to-code hackathon, I led the development of an innovative design-to-code tool that automatically converts Figma designs to React code—revolutionizing how developers and engineers build UIs across the company. I've also presented full-day demos to engineers and business owners, showcasing both the design-to-code tool and our internal framework capabilities.

Beyond framework development, I led the organization-wide migration from Jenkins to LOCI (Lowe's CI/CD), our internally created tool, streamlining deployment workflows across teams. I've created comprehensive starter projects that automate the entire developer workflow from Stash creation to deployment, significantly reducing onboarding time. My hackathon participation includes winning first place and securing 7th place in a retail price-matching automation challenge that aimed to reduce manual checkout time for associates.

As a curious human being with a growth mindset, I'm deeply committed to giving back to the frontend community through technical blogging, sharing my experience and learnings in comprehensive guides on performance optimization and architecture patterns. As a mentor, I've successfully onboarded junior engineers, senior engineers, and team leads, providing knowledge transfer and ensuring smooth team integration. My diverse background includes early experiences in digital marketing, data analytics, and sales—skills that enhance my ability to understand user needs and communicate technical concepts effectively across different audiences.
