Full-Stack, Frontend-Heavy

Staff Software Engineer

Akshay Gajbhiya

Staff Software Engineer with twelve years across front end, full stack and applied AI. I lead platforms that teams ship independently, set the standards that hold as organisations grow, and mentor the engineers who build on them.

Intro

I started as full-stack, grew interest towards front end, and now put AI to work in the products I build and in how I build them.

  1. 01

    Frontend

    Where it began, and where my leadership shows. Architecting UI platforms in React, Angular and TypeScript, with an obsession for performance, accessibility and shared systems that teams actually adopt.

    • Micro-frontends and monorepos
    • Core Web Vitals and virtualization
    • Shared libraries, standards and mentoring
  2. 02

    Full-stack

    Owning the whole path from browser to database. APIs, real-time systems and pipelines, so features ship end to end without hand-offs.

    • Node.js, Java (Spring Boot), Python (FastAPI)
    • WebSockets and GraphQL
    • MySQL and MongoDB data layers
    • Jenkins, Grafana and observability
  3. 03

    AI-enabled engineer

    Using LLMs as a force multiplier: integrating AI into products with tool calling and MCP, and working with coding agents to move faster without lowering the bar.

    • LLM and MCP integration
    • RAG and Agentic AI
    • Tool calling and AI-assisted coding
    • Claude in the daily workflow
