Mirza Bilal
Frontend & Full Stack Engineer
I build fast, polished web applications end to end, from React and Next.js frontends to scalable Python and Node.js backends that ship to millions. I've also delivered AI-powered features along the way.
About
I turn complex problems into intelligent software that actually ships.
For 9 years I've built across the entire stack, shipping full web applications with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Python and Node.js, and delivering AI-powered features (RAG, Azure OpenAI) when a project needs them.
My work has powered Fortune 500 retail (Albertsons, Williams-Sonoma) and live e-commerce platforms used by thousands daily. I care about one thing: software that reliably delivers value to real users.
Not frontend-only. Not backend-only. End to end, from the database to the interface.
