Akshay DobariyaSoftware EngineerBuilding Products That Work.
Backend-focused, full-stack capable. I build production-ready web applications, APIs, and scalable backend systems using Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, and modern frontend technologies.
3+ years of professional experience delivering real-world products — from architecture and development through deployment and maintenance.
Clean Architecture. Reliable Systems. End-to-End Ownership.
Good engineering is invisible — the API responds fast, the data is consistent, the product simply works. My approach is rooted in clean, maintainable architecture where every design decision is justified by the business requirement and long-term operability.
I take ownership across the full delivery cycle: from understanding requirements and designing the right architecture, to writing production-quality code, deploying it, and keeping it running. Whether backend or full-stack, the standard is the same — systems that are reliable, observable, and easy to reason about.

01b. Engineering Principles
Ownership
I take responsibility end-to-end — from understanding requirements and designing the architecture, through development, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Ownership means the work is done, not just delivered.
Simplicity
The best architecture is the one that is easiest to understand, extend, and debug six months from now. I default to clear, maintainable solutions and introduce complexity only when the problem genuinely requires it.
Data First
Well-designed data models are the foundation of reliable systems. I invest in correct schema design, transactional integrity, and predictable access patterns before everything else.
Production Mindset
Authentication, input validation, error handling, structured logging, and monitoring are not afterthoughts — they are part of the implementation from day one. Production-ready means ready from the start.
02. Services

- —Nginx, PM2 & process management
- —GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines
- —Structured logging & error monitoring
- —Performance optimization
02. Selected Works
Ethos Finance
NestJS · React · PostgreSQL · Prisma · Gemini
Personal finance platform that tracks banking, credit cards, loans, and investments on a strict ledger so net worth is not inflated by double-counted repayments. Balances are encrypted before they reach PostgreSQL, market prices sync from Yahoo Finance and AMFI, and a Gemini copilot can query the books only after the user confirms any write.
Set-Center ERP / MES
Node.js · TypeScript · PostgreSQL · Prisma · AWS
Production ERP/MES backend for a food packaging manufacturing company in Japan. Sole backend engineer across the full project lifecycle — from requirements and architecture through development, deployment, and ongoing maintenance. The system manages production scheduling, multi-stage inventory, transactional workflows, real-time factory floor updates, and document generation.
Shokunin Base (職人BASE)
Node.js · TypeScript · PostgreSQL · Prisma · REST APIs
Production B2B/B2C platform connecting skilled professionals and companies based on skills, experience, and project requirements. The platform supports end-to-end workflows including user and company profiles, skill-based discovery and matching, project posting, scheduling, contracts, reviews, and internal communication.
EventNest
Node.js · Express · MongoDB · WhatsApp · PDF
Operations backend for a chain of party plots around Ahmedabad. WhatsApp and public-form inquiries become scored leads, then confirmed wedding bookings, with billing, signed booking papers, and automated payment reminders.
Blogging Platform
Next.js · TypeScript · Tailwind CSS · Firebase
Full-stack blogging and content management platform built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Firebase. Features a public-facing blog with SEO-optimised article pages, a protected admin dashboard for content creation and management, and Google Analytics integration for traffic insights.
Backend-Focused. Full-Stack Capable. Production-Ready.
Software Engineer with 3+ years of professional experience building and delivering production-grade applications — backend systems, full-stack products, and everything in between, using Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, AWS, React, and Next.js.
Backend engineering is my primary strength — REST API design, database architecture, authentication, real-time systems, transactional workflows, and observability. I also build complete full-stack products when the work calls for it, using React and Next.js on the frontend.
I have delivered ERP/MES systems, B2B/B2C platforms, a multi-venue wedding operations system, and full-stack web applications — taking end-to-end ownership from requirements and architecture through deployment, maintenance, and iteration.
I work well independently and collaborate closely with teams, founders, and clients to turn requirements into reliable, working software.

05. Experience
Jul 2022 — Present
Full Stack Developer
SoftColon Technologies
Started as an intern in July 2022 and joined full-time in January 2023. Over 3+ years, I have designed, built, deployed, and maintained multiple production applications for clients across different industries and geographies — including a manufacturing ERP/MES for a Japanese company, a B2B/B2C workforce platform, and various web applications.
My work spans backend architecture, database design, REST API development, third-party integrations, deployment on AWS, CI/CD pipelines, and ongoing production maintenance. I take end-to-end ownership of projects rather than working on isolated tasks.
