Summary
Bilal Itani is a Senior Full-Stack Engineer based in Chicago with 11 years of experience building high-impact web and game products using React, TypeScript, Node, and Unity. He has a track record of shipping complete systems—from SSR React apps and GraphQL-backed SPAs to Unity games and tooling—across startups and enterprise clients, including engineering key UI components for Ford’s SYNC4 in over a million vehicles. Bilal has repeatedly translated product ideas into revenue-generating software (growing a startup from zero to recurring revenue and launching SaaS invoicing used by thousands) while also creating consumer-facing game experiences that reached millions of impressions. Comfortable leading architecture, automated testing, and deployment workflows, he often takes ownership in remote teams and mentors peers to improve delivery. Beyond typical full-stack work, he combines game-dev systems thinking (pathfinding, steering, gameplay) with frontend product design, enabling creative interactive features like leaderboards and coaching platforms.
