Milind Shah is a frontend-focused software engineer with 11 years of full-stack experience building performant web and mobile applications across startups and large platforms like Facebook, Audius, Block, and Canva. He blends deep frontend expertise in React/Next.js and WebGL with backend strengths in Kotlin/Java, Node.js, and distributed systems (Kafka, gRPC, Postgres), shipping features end-to-end and optimizing critical queries and visualizations. At Audius he improved waveform rendering and protocol performance, and he’s contributed backend improvements to the widely-used Audius protocol open-source repo. Comfortable in both monolithic and microservices architectures, he operates across cloud-native tooling (AWS, Kubernetes, Docker) and observability stacks (Sentry, Datadog). Based in Sydney and trained in computer engineering at Waterloo, he brings a pragmatic balance of product-minded UI polish and scalable infrastructure know-how.
