Chirag Bellara

About

Product-focused full-stack engineer (70/30 app vs infra) with Accenture experience and recent AI workflow work, shipping end-to-end systems from React/TypeScript UIs through FastAPI backends to Postgres. Built an AI-driven data extraction platform with async job APIs, strict schema validation, and strong observability, and has operated AWS ECS-based deployments with real incident mitigation (DB connection exhaustion/latency under traffic spikes).

Experience

Education

Key Strengths

• Led a 5-person team to ship an end-to-end cost-to-client reporting/automation pipeline to production
• Balances modern product development with legacy client constraints (e.g., Excel-first workflows) by delivering multiple interfaces (web dashboard + Excel macros)
• End-to-end ownership of customer-facing systems (UI, backend logic, database modeling, production delivery)
• Strong API design for production Python/FastAPI services (versioning, schema validation, structured errors, modular architecture)
• Builds polished, predictable data-heavy React/TypeScript UIs with robust state management, caching, and edge-case handling
• Designs and optimizes PostgreSQL schemas for long-running workflow systems (indexes, JSONB/GIN, migrations, EXPLAIN ANALYZE iteration)
• Proven AWS production operations and incident response (diagnosed DB connection exhaustion; implemented pooling, query/index optimizations, concurrency tuning, and ECS autoscaling)
