Remote-First MERN Stack Developer & Technical Lead (React · Node.js · PostgreSQL/MongoDB) | IST/GMT+5 : 30 | Available for US/EU timezone overlap
I’m a full-stack MERN developer and technical lead with a passion for building production-ready web applications and managing remote teams effectively. With hands-on experience in React, Next.js, Node.js/Express and PostgreSQL (Neon) or MongoDB, I’ve delivered solutions in FinTech, Gaming and SaaS domains — often working directly with clients, coordinating distributed teams and driving sprint-based deliverables.
Operating from India (IST/GMT+5 : 30), I’m fully dedicated to working with US/EU teams — bringing remote-first mindset, asynchronous collaboration setup, and clean code practices to the table.
- Led remote development teams across India, including client-call scheduling, async GitHub PR reviews and sprint management.
- Acted as Technical Point of Contact bridging clients, product and engineering through Slack, Zoom, Jira/Notion.
- Built and maintained global-ready architectures and cross-timezone delivery pipelines.
- 🟦 TypeScript: Strong usage across front-end and back-end modules including strict mode, typings and reusable interfaces.
- 🧪 Testing & CI/CD: Implemented unit tests (Jest), integration/e2e tests (Playwright/Cypress) and GitHub Actions pipelines in production apps.
- 🔄 GraphQL & REST: Designed and consumed GraphQL APIs in recent projects while maintaining REST endpoints for legacy modules.
- ⚙️ Production Architecture: Designed scalable microservices for high-concurrency flows, video streaming modules, and globally-distributed user bases.
- Lead and mentor front-end & back-end development using React / Next.js, ensuring responsive UI, SSR/CSR strategies, and component-driven architecture.
- Architect and build scalable back-ends in Node.js / Express — structuring REST/GraphQL APIs, integrating databases, cloud services, video streaming, and third-party APIs.
- Execute data modelling with PostgreSQL (Neon) or MongoDB, optimize queries, design schemas, ensure performance at scale.
- Manage authentication & access control frameworks (BetterAuth, OAuth) with RBAC (learner/instructor/admin) and implement cloud-based video storage/streaming pipelines (S3/CloudFront or similar).
- Drive DevOps & remote delivery: CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Docker), remote monitoring/logging, asynchronous sprint workflows, Slack/Zoom/Jira communication, documentation and client-facing updates.
- Serve as Technical Point of Contact with clients and stakeholders — lead requirements gathering, sprint planning, demo presentations and post-deployment support.
