@sameershoukatali
Backend-first Software Engineer building scalable REST APIs, full-stack systems, and real-time experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Software Engineer with 5+ years of progressive experience in end-to-end development. I specialize in designing, building, and scaling robust RESTful APIs, full-stack solutions, and real-time systems—especially in demanding, production environments.
My work is backend-first, anchored in clean architecture, strong problem-solving, and delivering reliable systems through Agile/Scrum collaboration. I’m highly proficient in the modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem, with deep experience across backend frameworks, frontend technologies, and relational databases.
In my recent roles, I’ve shipped production features across web and mobile. At Dormot, I worked on a live real-estate platform—developing robust backend APIs and translating Figma designs into responsive, pixel-perfect interfaces using Next.js and Tailwind CSS, while extending client-side state management with React Query.
Across my earlier experience, I delivered high-throughput and real-time capabilities, including Socket.IO-based messaging with thousands of concurrent connections and performance improvements through Redis caching (20%+ improvement). I also bring strong API expertise—authentication, authorization, API versioning, and structured error handling—plus practical DevOps support with Docker and a focus on clean, maintainable code.
