Sameer Shoukat — Full Stack Developer. I build digital products that feel as good as they work.
4+ years building production web experiences across frontend, backend, APIs, and product interfaces.
Products built end to end, from interface to endpoint.
Three projects with real depth — what they are, what I built, and what they taught me.

Frontend Developer · BraceSol
Client-facing frontend work at a software agency — React and Vue interfaces built from design files and wired to team APIs.
- Built responsive web interfaces for client projects using React and Vue.js, translating Figma designs into working pages.
- Integrated REST APIs from backend teammates with Axios, handling data fetching, loading states and error handling.
- Implemented validated forms with React Hook Form, reducing bad form submissions.
- Styled applications with Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules and plain CSS depending on project requirements.
- Occasionally wrote simple Node.js/Express endpoints when a project needed a small backend change.
- Fixed cross-browser issues and improved page load speed through image optimization and lazy loading.
- Worked in Agile sprints, tracked tasks in JIRA and joined code reviews with senior developers, collaborating with 2–3 developers per project.

Tools I use daily — and the ones I'm honest about still learning.
Hover a technology to see where it actually shows up in my work.
Four things I hold to.
Product First
Good software starts with understanding what users actually need — not with the framework you'd enjoy using.
Interfaces Matter
A technically strong product should also feel intuitive and polished. The interface is where the engineering is judged.
Build for Change
Architecture should make future changes easier, not harder. Requirements always move; the code should expect it.
Ship, Learn, Improve
Real products get better through iteration, feedback and measurement — not through one perfect release.
Developer by craft. Product-minded by default.
I'm a Full Stack Developer with 4+ years of experience building production web applications with React, Next.js, Node.js and MongoDB. Most of that time has been spent close to the interface — turning Figma files into components that hold up under real data, real users and real deadlines.
The backend half came from necessity and stayed out of interest. Writing the Express endpoints behind a feed, shaping a Mongoose schema as requirements move, wiring authentication — it makes me a better frontend engineer, because I understand the contract on both sides of it.
For the last two years I've worked remotely with a US-based team: standups, sprint planning, code review, pull requests, shipping features end to end. I care about interfaces that feel considered, code the next person can change, and being honest about what I know well versus what I'm still learning.
