# Sanket Joshi

> Sanket Joshi is a founding technical lead and frontend tech lead with 10+ years building teams and shipping React, TypeScript and Node.js products. Also a Marathi stand-up comedian (@laugh_with_sanket).

I'm a frontend tech lead with 10+ years across EPAM Systems, Excellarate and Cybage. I've led cross-functional UI teams, driven architecture decisions and shipped scalable React, TypeScript and Node.js products, while hiring developers, running 1:1s and growing engineers toward independence. As a Certified Scrum Master and long-time trainer I bring structure to ambiguity, and I still write code alongside the team.

Open to engineering manager roles and remote opportunities worldwide, and always happy to talk frontend.
