Sanjay Nelson is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with nine years of experience building and modernizing full‑stack web applications across Elixir/Phoenix, React, Java/Spring Boot, and Ruby/Rails. He has a track record of rewriting legacy stacks and shipping production systems—most recently migrating a MongoDB/Express/React app to an Elixir/Phoenix/Ash/Postgres architecture while applying agentic AI development practices. His work spans backend-for-frontend, integrations, observability, analytics, and LLM/AI integrations for both startup and product teams. Comfortable across the stack, he has repeatedly owned feature delivery, on‑call production support, and API design for high‑visibility products. Outside engineering he brings creative discipline from a background in audio engineering and music, which informs his attention to detail and systems thinking.
