Bilal Shahid

I’m Bilal Shahid, a Full-Stack Software Engineer with over 4 years of experience building, scaling, and optimizing modern web applications and SaaS platforms. I specialize in JavaScript ecosystems—primarily React, Next.js, and Node.js—and have solid hands-on experience with backend frameworks like Express and Django. My work spans from designing responsive UIs and integrating APIs to architecting backend systems that are performant, maintainable, and scalable.

I’ve worked with top-tier companies such as Afiniti and Avanceon, where I developed enterprise-grade solutions for internal and external users. My responsibilities included everything from crafting RESTful APIs and managing cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) to improving dashboard performance through backend profiling, caching, and schema optimization.

I’m well-versed in modern frontend libraries like Redux, Tailwind CSS, and component-based design systems. On the backend, I’ve worked with relational databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL, as well as NoSQL solutions like MongoDB and Redis. I often optimize queries, design data models, and use background workers and caching to reduce response times and improve throughput.

In addition to technical development, I’m proactive in collaborating across teams—be it DevOps, Product, or QA—to deliver high-impact features and meet business goals. I’ve led performance improvements that reduced API latency by over 90% and improved user workflows through thoughtful feature design and testing.

I'm comfortable in agile environments, write testable and maintainable code, and use Git, Jira, and CI/CD pipelines in daily workflows. Whether it's building something from scratch or diving into legacy codebases, I adapt quickly and aim to make systems cleaner, faster, and easier to maintain.

If you're looking for a developer who can handle both frontend polish and backend robustness—and who communicates clearly and delivers on time—I’d love to connect.
