Azfar Syal
@azfarsyal
Full-stack software engineer specializing in AI and generative AI, building scalable web and mobile apps with pixel-perfect UX.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven full-stack software engineer with 7+ years of experience designing and deploying scalable web and mobile applications. I specialize in React.js, Next.js, Node.js, and modern web technologies, with hands-on work integrating generative AI models and LLMs. I’m known for delivering high-performance solutions—optimizing critical systems by 90%+—while architecting robust backends that translate directly into business value.
In my recent work at ENXSYS, I architected and deployed a production-ready AI comparison platform using Next.js and Django, enabling users to generate, compare, and manage AI-generated media across multiple models (Stable Diffusion and others). I built a multi-model text/image/video generation system with intelligent queue management, side-by-side comparison with voting and threaded comments, and a complete social ecosystem (profiles, galleries, follow/like/comment). I also engineered real-time status updates via WebSockets, plus a credit wallet with subscriptions, top-ups, expiration handling, and detailed transaction histories—backed by engagement features like leaderboards and achievement badges.
Earlier, I led full-stack development for an education platform (10,000+ monthly active users), pivoting from mobile-only to omnichannel and increasing accessibility by 45% while automating PDF reporting for 5,000+ students and reducing manual effort by 100%. I’ve repeatedly improved performance through targeted engineering—such as migrating search from Firestore to Algolia for sub-100ms responses (200% improvement) and achieving 92% better query load times through database optimization and caching. My professional ethos is simple: ship reliable, user-focused experiences, instrument everything for insight, and treat performance, correctness, and maintainability as core features.
