Anes Mehai

Full-stack engineer building maintainable apps across frontend, backend, cloud, and modernization work.

I bring 7+ years of software engineering experience across federal systems, client websites, mobile products, accessibility, testing, and cloud deployment. I use AI-assisted development to move faster while keeping code readable, reviewed, and maintainable.

  • React · HTML · CSS · JavaScript
  • AWS · GCP · Linux · CI/CD

About

Practical engineering, polished delivery.

I am a software engineer who can move between frontend details, backend systems, cloud deployment, QA, documentation, and stakeholder communication. My strongest work happens where reliability, usability, and maintainability all matter.

Recently, I have been sharpening an AI-assisted workflow for faster implementation, refactoring, and review while keeping the human engineering standards intact: clear requirements, small modules, accessible interfaces, useful tests, and readable code.

Experience

Seven years shipping across public and private-sector work.
