Shandiz Mehrabadi

Senior Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience building production web applications across React, Next.js, Node.js, and cloud infrastructure. I focus on frontend performance, architecture, and technical leadership on systems where small decisions compound over time.

Currently

Senior Full Stack Software Engineer at Autodesk, working on cloud-native, data-driven applications with an emphasis on performance and scalability.

I also build nextperf.dev, a performance scanner for Next.js applications, and occasionally write about Next.js performance on the blog.
