Basit Ali

Full Stack Engineer

I build modern, full-stack web applications using Laravel, Django, and Nuxt — focused on performance, simplicity, and great user experience.

About

I’m a passionate full-stack engineer with 6+ years of hands-on experience building high-performance, user-centered web applications. My work spans front-end development with Vue, Nuxt, and Tailwind, and back-end engineering using Laravel, Django, and modern database technologies.

Over the years, I’ve crafted full-featured systems for government, enterprise, and startup clients — delivering everything from admin dashboards and booking platforms to secure APIs, CMS integrations, and large-scale deployments. My frontend focus ensures pixel-perfect, responsive UIs, while my backend expertise brings performance, security, and scale.

I enjoy building secure RESTful APIs, integrating third-party services, and deploying applications on platforms like Render, Railway, and Cloudways. I also take pride in writing clean, maintainable code and optimizing performance end-to-end.

Outside of coding, I love researching new tech trends, debugging tough issues, and occasionally mentoring junior devs. I thrive in environments that value clean architecture, fast iterations, and meaningful digital experiences.
