@masoodshuja
Full-Stack Engineer building scalable Node.js/NestJS and React apps for real users at scale.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Full-Stack Engineer with 2+ years of professional experience in Node.js, NestJS, React.js, and the MERN stack. I build production platforms that serve real users at scale, including a system with 500K+ users and a ticket booking platform used live at PSL 2026.
I focus on clean architecture, secure authentication, and performance—especially RBAC with JWT/refresh tokens and multilingual systems (EN/AR + RTL). I’ve delivered real-time features (WebSockets, live tracking, and chat), automation platforms, and third-party API integrations (payments, messaging, and maps), and I enjoy leading backend development in end-to-end product builds.
