Ijaz Khan

• Lead backend development for a microservices product using Django, FastAPI and NestJS, defining service boundaries and API contracts for web and mobile clients.
• Built an LLM-powered chat assistant using RAG over vector data to keep answers grounded in application content and internal knowledge sources.
• Implemented the serving layer for an in-house trained image model that processes user-uploaded dental images as part of the product workflow.
• Owned OAuth2 authentication, Stripe subscription and billing flows, and Celery/RabbitMQ jobs for image processing, notifications and asynchronous workloads.
• Set up Docker-based CI/CD deployments across AWS and Azure, improving release consistency and reducing manual deployment steps.
• Review pull requests, support newer developers, and collaborate with product and design to scope features before implementation.

• Developed backend services and REST APIs for AI-focused and data-heavy web applications using Django and Node.js.
• Designed authentication flows, database models and integration layers for features involving third-party APIs and AI/ML services.
• Moved long-running tasks into Celery and RabbitMQ background workers to keep request-response flows stable and maintainable.
• Built and maintained data pipelines and optimized heavy dashboard screens by profiling slow data flows, API behavior and frontend rendering.
• Delivered React and Next.js frontend features on top of backend services, contributing across the full product stack.
• Worked directly with the founding team to turn loosely defined ideas into scoped features, estimating effort and flagging technical risks early.

• Built and maintained web applications using React, Next.js, Node.js and REST APIs across both frontend and backend layers.
• Translated UI/UX designs into responsive interfaces and connected them with backend endpoints and application data flows.
• Shipped features for multiple client products in parallel in an agency setting, adapting quickly to different codebases and conventions.
• Wrote and reviewed database queries and schema changes to support new features without slowing down existing screens.
• Investigated and resolved performance issues on heavier pages by improving frontend behavior and API integration patterns.

• Built and maintained client-facing web application features using JavaScript, TypeScript, React and Next.js.
• Integrated APIs, converted UI/UX designs into reusable components, and resolved layout, responsiveness and cross-browser issues.
• Built form-heavy screens with validation and clear error handling, keeping state predictable with modern React patterns.
• Worked alongside senior developers to debug issues across the frontend, API and database layers, building the habits I still use today.
• Contributed to internal dashboards used by non-technical staff, which taught me to design for people who never read documentation.

• Four year degree covering data structures and algorithms, databases, operating systems, computer networks and software engineering.
• Built the programming foundations (data modelling, APIs, web development) that I now use to ship production software every day.
