About Feroz Ali Khan

I build things that ship.I worked at Voulay — a 6-person startup where I wasn\'t just writing code, I was building features that went straight into production. Stripe payment integration handling real customer transactions. Authentication systems protecting user accounts and wallets. Affiliate monetization logic generating actual revenue. Cohort-based reward systems and scalable backend infrastructure designed for growth.It was intense. Founders needed things yesterday. Requirements changed. Bugs happened in production. But that\'s exactly why it was valuable — I learned what it actually takes to ship software that people use and businesses depend on.I worked across the full stack with React, Node.js, and TypeScript. When something broke, I fixed it. When we needed a new feature, I built it. No hand-holding, no waiting for someone else to make decisions. Just shipping.I also built HalalHub — a web app using React and Google Maps APIs to help the Muslim community find halal restaurants. It\'s live, people use it, and building it taught me everything the classroom doesn\'t: deployment, performance, handling real user feedback, maintaining something that actually matters to people.Right now I\'m exploring AI integration, building projects with LLM APIs to understand how this technology works in practice, not just in theory.My stack: JavaScript, React, Node.js, TypeScript, Stripe, Google Maps API, REST APIs, JWT auth, Git.I do my best work in fast-moving environments where I can work directly with technical leaders, own features end-to-end, and ship quickly.Based in Northern California. Open to SF Bay Area, remote, or relocating for the right opportunity.If you\'re building something real and need someone who knows how to ship, let\'s talk.
