Hello, I'm Mariya Shaikh
Crafting precise, performant digital experiences — from database to pixel.
"I completed a 6-month internship beginning May 2025 — an immersive tenure that compressed years of learning into a single, defining chapter."
During that time, I contributed to a diverse portfolio spanning in-house tooling, intra-national platforms, and international-grade products. Each project demanded a different mindset — and I leaned into that breadth deliberately, choosing depth alongside range.
My technical foundation is rooted in the MERN stack, Next.js, and PostgreSQL with Prisma ORM — but what keeps me effective is not just the stack, it's the ability to reason clearly about architecture and trade-offs before a single line is written.
Beyond the code, I hold working knowledge of Linux server deployment — configuring environments, managing processes, and maintaining uptime. I believe a developer who understands where their software lives is a far more complete engineer.
Approaches every challenge with structured reasoning — breaking ambiguity into clear, solvable components.
Embraces change as a catalyst — whether adopting a new framework or pivoting on architecture mid-project.
Owns outcomes fully — successes and setbacks alike — and uses both as leverage for continuous improvement.
Thrives inside cross-functional teams, communicating technical decisions with clarity to stakeholders at every level.
9 projects across full-stack, IoT, and frontend disciplines.
An end-to-end hospital administration platform centred around Operating Theatre management. Admins orchestrate patient admissions, assign surgical teams, manage OT room availability, and track real-time operation status. Doctors and supporting staff access their schedules and patient reports — all behind secure role-based authentication.
A dual-role clinical platform where receptionists handle patient intake, token assignment, status tracking, and bill generation — while doctors manage their patient queue, add diagnoses, and attach prescriptions and reports. Includes full auth with forgot-password flow.
A hardware-software hybrid that automates pet feeding via a NodeMCU microcontroller synced with Firebase Realtime Database. A responsive web dashboard enables remote schedule control and live food-level monitoring. Sensor logic written in C++ and Python ensures accurate dispensing without manual intervention.
A polished browser game featuring animal photography, adjustable difficulty levels, move tracking, and score persistence. Built with strict TypeScript and Next.js App Router conventions.
A full-stack movie catalogue with admin CRUD controls and a public search interface. Users can discover and browse films; admins manage the full content library.
A clean personal finance tool with auth, expense creation, categorised listing, and inline editing — giving users a clear picture of where their money goes.
A frontend-only e-commerce interface with GSAP-powered scroll animations, a functional cart, and a realistic payment page — designed to feel production-grade without a backend.
A complete order-placement website for a home bakery — customers browse, customise, and place orders through a warm, inviting UI backed by a PHP/SQL stack.
A visually rich, frontend-only ice cream parlour website focused entirely on aesthetic experience — lush product displays and smooth Bootstrap-driven layouts.
Open to full-time roles, freelance collaborations, and interesting side projects. Reach out — I respond promptly.
