Mihir Mahakalkar

I'm a Lead Fullstack Developer with over 8 years of experience designing and building scalable, high-performing web applications. My core tech stack includes TypeScript, React, Node.js, Go, and AWS, and I'm passionate about creating clean, maintainable code that drives real product value. I've led cross-functional teams through the full development lifecycle—from product discovery and architecture to deployment and performance tuning.

Throughout my career, I’ve taken pride in not just delivering code, but also mentoring developers, improving development workflows, and helping teams adopt best practices in testing, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure. I strongly believe in engineering culture where collaboration, ownership, and continuous learning are central.

Some highlights of my journey so far:

• Led the re-architecture of a monolithic system into microservices using Go and AWS Lambda, improving scalability and reducing deployment times by 70%.

• Spearheaded the migration of a large codebase to TypeScript, increasing developer confidence and reducing runtime errors.

• Built and grew a team of 10+ engineers, focusing on mentorship, clear career paths, and a strong feedback culture.

• Designed and shipped full-stack features used by millions, working closely with product, design, and data teams.

I'm particularly interested in working with product-driven teams, tackling meaningful challenges, and staying hands-on with modern technologies. I enjoy solving complex problems that sit at the intersection of UX, performance, and architecture.
