Full Stack Engineer (MERN) | React.js · Node.js · TypeScript · PostgreSQL | Building production-grade systems | Aspiring engineering leader

About

I build full-stack systems that ship fast and scale well — and I'm just getting started. As a Software Engineer at PDRL, I've improved API response times by 10%, shipped a high-throughput IVR calling system handling parallel campaigns, and built subscription management features used in production. Before that, my frontend optimizations at Paarsh Infotech improved performance by 25% and cut recurring errors by 20%. My stack: React.js, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, and Jest — but tools are secondary. What I care about is clean architecture, systems that don't break at 3am, and writing code that future teammates can actually read. Long-term, my goal is to grow into a CTO role — which means I'm not just looking for a job. I'm looking for a company where I can take ownership, move fast, and help build something meaningful from the ground up. If you're building something ambitious and want an engineer who thinks like an owner — let's talk. Portfolio: https://shashikantshirsath.github.io/ShashikantShashikant-Portfolio/ Open to full-time Software Engineer roles at product-focused, growth-stage companies. If you're building something ambitious, I'd love to connect — reach me at shashikantshirsath08@gmail.com or just send a message here.
