Nirav Panchal

I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 6.5+ years of experience designing and building scalable, high-performance backend systems using Node.js, TypeScript, AWS, and SQL/NoSQL databases. I focus on delivering reliable services that perform under high-concurrency workloads, with a strong bias toward production readiness.

I specialize in API development across REST, microservices, GraphQL, and WebSocket, including authentication and secure authorization with JWT. I’ve handled production support end-to-end—diagnosing backend issues, improving uptime, and strengthening logging, monitoring, and documentation with tools like New Relic, Sentry, and SonarQube.

Throughout my career, I’ve led teams and raised engineering quality through mentoring, code reviews, and testing practices (including unit tests). I’ve also driven measurable improvements, such as optimizing a dynamic form rendering approach that reduced page reloads by 30% and optimizing SQL query performance by 70%.

I architect AWS-based solutions using EC2, S3, CloudFront, SQS, Lambda, RDS, and IAM, and I’ve scaled systems to support 500+ concurrent users. Currently, I’m expanding my expertise in system design, Docker, and DevOps practices to make backend platforms even more robust and maintainable.
