Full-Stack EngineerBengaluru, India
Hi, I'm Hakim.I help startups turn difficult ideas into products people enjoy using.
I'm a full-stack engineer who cares deeply about the frontend. For 10+ years, I've worked on editors, SaaS products, testing platforms, and the systems behind them. I enjoy joining when there's a lot to figure out and a small team needs someone who can own the whole thing.
Background
I'm happiest when there's still a lot to figure out.
Give me a rough idea, a complicated workflow, or a product that has outgrown its first version. I like making sense of the problem, shaping the experience, building the interface and the services behind it, and staying close until it works well in production. That has taken me from React and TypeScript to Node.js, Python, APIs, databases, permissions, queues, and everything required to ship with confidence.
Experience
The places that shaped how I build.
Senior Full-Stack React Engineer
Modernized real-device testing workflows from legacy jQuery and Rails into React, TypeScript, Redux, Node.js APIs, WebSockets, and automation systems.
Senior Web UI Developer
Turned ambiguous enterprise workflows into reusable component systems, data-rich D3 interfaces, and maintainable product architecture.
JavaScript Engineer
Delivered performance-sensitive web modules using offline IndexedDB storage, Web Workers, WebGL dashboards, and resilient client-side data flows.
React Native Developer
Built and shipped mobile and web products with reusable theming, modular state management, API integration, and practical release ownership.
Independent & open source
A few other things I've enjoyed making.
Some of my favorite work has happened outside a long-term role: contributing in public, joining a focused product for a while, or building a small tool because I wanted it to exist.
FigJam to Linear plugin2026
Handoff for Linear
I built a FigJam plugin that turns sticky notes, shapes, and frames into tracked Linear issues, carrying over titles, descriptions, projects, assignees, labels, and source links so planning can move forward without losing context.

Reddit Detox
I built a small Chrome extension to make Reddit less distracting. It hides ads, recommendations, and trending content so I can keep the feed focused on communities I chose to follow.

A few kinds of work I know well.
If you're hiring for one of these problems, here's a little more context on how I've approached it.
Contact
If you're building something ambitious, I'd love to hear about it.
I'm especially drawn to small teams where product thinking, engineering judgment, and a willingness to get into the details all matter.
