Raheel Butt

I’m a Software Engineer and Tech Lead with 5+ years of experience delivering end-to-end solutions across frontend, backend, and cloud infrastructure. I thrive on building scalable systems end-to-end—from design through CI/CD automation—with a strong focus on reliability and high availability.

My core strength is architecting with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) and pairing it with modern backend frameworks like NestJS and FastAPI, using TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python. I build secure backend services with REST and GraphQL, and authentication/authorization using JWT, Auth0, and Clerk, including security enhancements like SSL pinning.

In my current role at Pikes Soft, I lead architecture for fintech and SaaS platforms, including virtual gifting, e-procurement, and a radiology maintenance app. I design event-driven real-time workflows, implement role-based access control, and deploy to AWS (Lambda, CloudFront, S3, EC2, CodePipeline) and Vercel while using Docker for containerized services.

I’m equally focused on operational excellence and customer impact. I integrate observability (Sentry, PostHog, LaunchDarkly, Grafana, Firebase Crashlytics) and deliver measurable results—accelerating release cycles by 40%, improving app stability by 30%, and increasing user retention by 35% through personalized, event-driven experiences.
