🎙️ AMP 73: Shubhangi Shukla on Angular Hydration & Women in Tech

This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Shubhangi Shukla, a talented Software Engineer at EY, based in Jaipur, India 🇮🇳. She’s a rising star in the world of web and mobile development, and in this episode, she shares her deep insights on Angular Hydration and her inspiring journey as a woman in tech.

💡 Here’s what we cover:

🌐 Angular Hydration

• What hydration really means in the context of Angular

• Why it’s crucial for performance and improving Core Web Vitals like LCP, FID, and CLS

• The right steps to enable it in your app

• How to verify it’s working (or not!)

• Pitfalls to avoid – like direct DOM manipulation or misused preserveWhitespaces

• Why custom or Noop Zone.js isn’t ready (yet)

• And how Angular DevTools can help debug it all

👩‍💻 Women in Tech

Shubhangi also shares her personal story – from studying at Rajasthan Technical University to landing a role at EY.

We talk about:

• The challenges she faced as a fresher

• How she stayed motivated and kept learning

• Advice she has for young women entering the tech world

• The skills that matter beyond code

• And what she listens to while coding (hint: it’s fun!)

🎧 Whether you’re an experienced Angular developer or just starting your journey in software engineering, this episode is filled with practical knowledge, honest reflections, and motivational energy.

🎙️ Welcome back to the JavaScript Master Podcast! I’m your host, Dariusz Kalbarczyk – co-founder of NG Poland, JS Poland, AngularMaster.dev & WorkshopFest.dev.

In this episode, I’m joined by a very special guest from the Netherlands – Roberto Heckers: Freelance Senior Frontend Engineer, Angular fanatic, and the author of Effective Angular.

We dive deep into what it means to build Angular apps like a pro – from mastering Nx, RxJS, and NgRx, to using standalone APIs, Signals, and Angular directives for clean, scalable code. Roberto also shares his thoughts on state management, dynamic components, testing strategies with Cypress and Jest, and his go-to design patterns that just work.

But that’s not all.

We also explore how to build accessible, performant, and internationalized Angular applications, tackle common security concerns, and optimize the deployment process through smart automation.

Toward the end, Roberto opens up about the human side of being a dev – how he stays motivated, what music he codes to, and what career he might pursue if tech wasn’t on the table.

If you’re working with Angular – or thinking about it – this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
