Chand Ansari

I’m a full-stack and backend-focused developer with 3+ years of experience building production-ready web applications and distributed systems. I architect scalable backend services with Node.js, Apache Kafka, and Redis, while delivering modern frontend experiences with Next.js 14 and React. I like owning features end-to-end—from database schema design and event-driven architecture to polished UI and cloud infrastructure.

In my recent work, I’ve architected event-driven microservices using Apache Kafka for asynchronous order processing and Redis for high-throughput caching, reducing database load and improving API latency. I also containerize and orchestrate applications with Docker and Kubernetes (K8s), and automate deployments with GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines for reliable, repeatable releases. When performance matters, I improve it with code splitting, lazy loading, and next/image optimization to drive measurable Core Web Vitals gains.

I enjoy building complex systems that connect real-world product needs to clean engineering—like a DAG pipeline editor with cycle detection for a YC S23 technical assessment (VectorShift) using React Flow and FastAPI. I’ve also built secure authentication and RBAC across Next.js 14 and APIs with JWT-based stateless auth, RBAC middleware, and signed password reset flows. I’m now looking for a remote role at a forward-thinking startup where shipping scalable, clean code matters.
