Neel Bhavsar is a full stack developer based in Ahmedabad, India, with 5+ years building production web applications. He has been at Artoon Solutions since April 2021, where he works across the stack: React and Next.js front-ends on Node.js, Express and NestJS APIs, with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Neo4j and Redis chosen to fit each product. His work includes a car rental platform managing 200+ vehicles, a live streaming platform supporting 500+ concurrent streamers with PayPal subscriptions and payouts, and Stripe and PayPal integrations handling USD 50,000+ a month. He has cut API response times by 70% through indexing and Redis caching, and leads a team of five developers.

Full Stack Developer
Ahmedabad, India · On-site
Joined as a Node.js developer building event-management systems and grew into owning backend architecture — API contracts, polyglot data modeling, real-time pipelines, and production on AWS.
Company siteStarted my production journey on event-management and CMS platforms — Diamond Connect for baseball tournaments with automated scheduling and Stripe payments, then iMentor, a multi-role educational CMS with algorithmic mentor–mentee matching and built-in chat. Owned features from schema through UI.
Led backend work across content, networking and streaming platforms: SpingR digital business cards with Neo4j graph-based networking, Jolt as a dual CMS + public film-streaming product on MongoDB and Auth0, and the Streamerdap pipeline that lets creators go live from OBS with PayPal billing. Modeled polyglot data across MongoDB, MySQL and Neo4j.
Owning architecture for high-scale platforms — Braganza end to end, from an Express and PostgreSQL core with Redis caching on AWS through to the React and Next.js booking interface — and setting the API and data-modeling standards the team builds against.
Seven production systems — the platforms behind them, what broke, and how it was fixed. Keep scrolling for the full case study.
An auto-updating directory of AI Skills, MCP servers and GitHub repos, with copy-paste setup instructions generated for Claude, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Cline and VS Code. A daily GitHub Actions cron refreshes the catalogue — no database, no server to babysit.
A full-stack car rental platform where users discover, book and rent vehicles through a secure, scalable system — availability, pricing and fleet state all consistent under load.
A web-based live streaming platform that lets creators go live straight from the OBS Browser source, with PayPal-backed subscriptions and plan-gated features.
A dual-purpose platform: a CMS for the team that publishes the catalogue, and a public film-streaming interface for everyone watching it.
Design, share and manage digital business cards — with graph-based networking in Neo4j so a connection two hops away is a query, not a guess.
A CMS-driven educational platform with multi-role admin support, automated mentor–mentee matching and built-in chat, so a pair can talk without leaving the programme.
A cross-platform app for running baseball tournaments end to end — team registration, Stripe payments, automated scheduling and scores from the field.
More in the repos — and a few under NDA.
Ask me about themFour things I do end to end — from the contract on paper to the container running in production.
Clean, layered REST APIs with secure auth (JWT), predictable contracts, and a codebase that scales without turning into a maze.
Live, low-latency features — presence, notifications, streaming and collaboration — built on Socket.IO and event-driven services.
Polyglot persistence done right: the correct store for each job, schemas modeled for real access patterns, indexes and caching that earn their keep.
From requirement to shipped product — React front-ends, containerized services, and deployment on AWS. I own the whole path to production.
Modern engineering is AI-augmented. These are the tools woven into how I design, debug, and ship.
AI-native editor for fast, context-aware code across large backend codebases.
Architecture reviews, tricky debugging, and turning specs into implementation plans.
Multimodal exploration, docs and quick research while building.
Inline completion in the editor — boilerplate, tests and repetitive refactors, without leaving the file.
Delegating scoped, well-defined work — migrations, refactors across many files, and test coverage — then reviewing the diff.

A client I worked for on contract, and the team leader and project manager I work with at Artoon — on what it was actually like.
Iftherewasamission-criticalfeaturethatabsolutelyhadtobecorrect,NeelwasthefirstguyI'dtrustwithit.
I'll never forget his first project on contract - the PayPal subscription billing implementation.
In over 15 years of building software, I have never seen a payment processor integration delivered 100% complete on the first pass with zero bugs. I don't think anyone on this email thread has. Certainly not with that many permutations. Until Neel.
That delivery permanently changed my expectations. He did what I thought was impossible - because I hadn't seen it before him - he showed me a unicorn. Truly zero bugs - and it took me several days of heavy testing to fully believe it, I refused to believe it. But he did. It wasn't luck either. Every difficult feature that followed was handled with the same calm confidence, thoughtful questions, and incredibly clean implementation. As Howard (our pseudo CTO) introduced stronger engineering standards, Neel embraced them immediately and continued growing into an engineer I trusted with the most complex work on the platform.

Demonstratinghighperformanceundertighttime-lineofdelivery.
He brainstorms and prioritises flow and model discussion before starting any development work, and follows the proper guidelines and deployment workflow of the project.
He successfully completed and delivered M1 of Braganza Collezione, along with the check-out check-in flow for vehicle management and the Owner and Broker portal. He built a new Vehicle Ownership domain layer — validation, persistence repositories, role verification, ownership-event tracking and pricing-flow integration — to support future owner/broker revenue-sharing workflows, and added new broker-management capabilities including detailed broker profile APIs, payout-history ledger endpoints, agency-scoped access controls and enhanced revenue-split tracking.
Using Claude Code, he redesigned the migration rollout strategy by splitting the large phase-2 migration into staged idempotent transactions, allowing safer deploy recovery, isolated rollback handling and reduced risk of partial migration failures during production deployments. He also strengthened the broker and booking workflows, refactored the Order Notes module, and implemented third party integration with perfection.
He quickly understood and adopted the ASL-ERP by code review, and now works on its master modules — Charges Types, Vessel Master, Port Master, Country Master, MIS Report BL register, BI types and Job status AIR modules. He implements the frontend module as well for his assigned module or task, and utilises Claude Code AI to perform daily task and module work. Keep up the good work!

What I appreciate most about him is the way he thinks. He never simply starts coding. He takes the time to understand the requirements, thinks through possible edge cases, and then delivers a solid, practical solution.
He has strong expertise in backend architecture, Node.js, TypeScript, AWS, databases, APIs, and third-party integrations. What truly stands out is his willingness to learn and take ownership. He is always ready to help the team, share his knowledge, and take responsibility when needed. His dedication, problem-solving approach, and commitment to delivering quality work make him a very valuable part of any engineering team.
