Axel Shaita is an engineering manager and hands-on tech lead with nine years of experience building resilient backend systems in JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js. He has led migrations from monoliths to microservices, implemented event-driven architectures and SAGA patterns, and instituted strong engineering practices (SOLID, clean code, testing) across teams. Comfortable in cloud-native environments (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes) and databases from Redis to PostgreSQL, he pairs architecture design with practical performance and reliability improvements. As an independent consultant and author of a technical blog, he helps companies scale both their code and engineering craft while mentoring teams through pair programming and code reviews. Based in the Greater Toulon area, he favors deceptively simple systems that endure, reflecting a mix of systems thinking and pragmatic delivery.
