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.
- 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
- 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
- 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
