About Me

👋🏼 I'm Mayank Bansal (मयंक बंसल), a Lead Frontend Engineer and self-taught Designer with full-stack experience. I love crafting products that blend usability, aesthetics, and engineering principles — all shaped by research and care.

I'm currently building AI products at OpenAI. I would love to hear about how ChatGPT can help you be more productive at work!

In the past, I’ve worked at Outgo, Convoy, and Legalpad— all of which have gotten acquired.

When I’m not working, I’m usually mentoring, cooking, playing guitar, or thinking about ways to make technology feel more human. I hope to use my skills to contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future.

Technical Skills

While my core focus is frontend engineering, my work often spans the full stack — roughly 60% frontend, 30% backend, and 10% design. I care deeply about crafting thoughtful, high-quality user experiences from initial research through to final launch, across both web and mobile.

I also bring experience in internationalization (i18n), accessibility (a11y), motion design, security, and performance optimization.
