Mehboob Shaikh

Lead Full-Stack Engineer · 8+ years · Thane · Mumbai, India

I take ideas to MVP and platforms to scale — Next.js in front, Sanity or WordPress behind, Django and Node underneath. Comfortable owning a platform from content model to CDN, and from the RFC to the sprint board.

Experience

    Thane · Hybrid

    Lead Full-Stack Engineer, Axioned

    Technical lead for an enterprise delivery team of eight. Own architecture, sprint execution and code quality for several concurrent client platforms, while staying 80% hands-on.

    • Taken client ideas from discovery workshop to shipped MVP — scoping, architecture, data model and first release — then grown them into platforms with real traffic.
    • Architected 5+ migrations from monolithic CMS platforms to Next.js with Sanity or Contentful, cutting page load times ~45% and lifting Core Web Vitals scores to 95+.
    • Designed B2B backend modules in Django and NestJS handling high-concurrency transactions and third-party integrations (HubSpot, payment and analytics APIs).
    • Delivered a Python forecasting proof of concept (Pandas, scikit-learn) for an advertising client, projecting product performance from campaign data.
    • Standardised CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Docker and Terraform across AWS and GCP; release cycles shortened ~35%, sprint on-time completion held at 95%+.
    • Run architecture reviews and RFCs, enforce TypeScript strictness and testing standards, and mentor engineers through promotion.
