The person
shipping the code.

Full Stack Software Engineer. Building products that are practical and scalable.

I build digital products that work fast, look clean, and scale easily. I've shipped real apps, led projects, and broken a few things just to learn how they work. Now, I'm all about turning ideas into systems that make an impact.

I am Abubakar Shaikh, and I focus on building reliable web products with clean architecture and strong execution.

I currently work at NEXENSTIAL LLP as a Full Stack Software Engineer, where I have been building and shipping web applications since Oct 6, 2023.

My stack centers around TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, and SQL databases.

Tools I reach
for by default.

I choose tools that keep delivery fast without sacrificing maintainability.

My approach is simple: right complexity, clear architecture, and systems that scale.

Clean code, practical systems, measurable impact.

SKELR

Service Scaffolding CLI - Generate production-ready service files in seconds. skelr is a Node.js CLI and library for generating Express service scaffolding with modular and layer-based architectures, JavaScript/TypeScript templates, optional CRUD generation with soft-delete strategies, and config-driven defaults via .skelrrc.json.

Project 052026

FEATIFY

Feature Branch Database Isolation CLI - Instantly clone your development MySQL database into isolated environments per feature branch. Featify prevents schema conflicts in Prisma workflows by creating branch-specific databases, enabling parallel development without migration collisions. It automates database cloning via Docker, generates feature-specific .env files, and integrates seamlessly with Prisma db push workflows.

How I think
about building.

01 /

Ship useful things

I optimize for real-world outcomes, not just feature count.

02 /

Keep systems clean

Readable architecture and maintainable code are non-negotiable for long-term speed.

03 /

Scale by design

I build with growth in mind so products stay stable as usage increases.

05 / Let's Connect
