I’m Syed Shahid Ali, a Full Stack JavaScript Developer with over 3 years of hands-on experience designing, developing, and maintaining scalable, modern web and mobile applications for startups and growing businesses.
My expertise covers both frontend and backend development, with deep experience in React, Next.js, Node.js, Express.js, Fastify, Firebase, Firestore, and MongoDB. I’ve architected complex systems with Pub/Sub, cron jobs, queues, and serverless Firebase Cloud Functions — ensuring high performance, automation, and reliability.
I have built production-grade applications in monorepo environments with multiple modules (Admin, Recruiter, Candidate, E2E tests, Storybook design system) and implemented AI-integrated automation workflows for hiring and business intelligence.
