# Balakishan Belde > Senior Software Engineer, Senior Full Stack Engineer, Senior Backend Engineer | TypeScript, JavaScript, React, C#, .NET, AWS, Python | Aspiring Chef Location: Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/balakishan When I’m not deep in code or scaling backend infrastructure for millions of users, you’ll likely find me spending quality time with my kids or in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes. As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with over a decade of experience, I’ve built and scaled web applications across a wide range of industries—from global tech leaders like Amazon to fast-paced startups like TADA. Whether leading projects or rolling up my sleeves in the code, I thrive in the build–ship–iterate cycle of software development. I’m passionate about crafting user-centered solutions and tackling complex backend challenges with precision and care. For me, building great products means understanding real user needs and obsessing over the small technical details that make a big difference.
