About
me

Lokesh Dhakar

Crafting digital experiences with purpose and precision.

I enjoy turning complex problems into clean, scalable solutions. With experience across the full web stack, I build user-friendly interfaces and engineer robust backend systems.

I don't chase trends. I focus on what works, collaborate closely with teams, and care deeply about building software that's genuinely useful.

My
journey

Six years, one thread running through all of it: staying curious enough to keep leveling up. Here's how it unfolded, year by year.

Beyond
the code

Two and a half years, three startups, one theme: shipping code was never the hard part. Here's a closer look at the decisions I've owned.

CASE STUDY — Axy · First Employee

Building the foundation, not just the feature

Situation

I joined Axy as its first employee, alongside two other early hires. The product was a prototype — we were building from a clean slate, with no existing architecture to follow or break.

Action

Knowing the product would grow into several distributed services and multiple front-end apps, I pushed for shared foundations early: a shared UI package, a shared types package, shared utilities, and common infrastructure — error handling, logging, PostHog analytics — wired in from day one, before duplication and inconsistency became real problems.

Result

The foundation held. As Axy scaled from a 3-person founding team to 20 people in under 5 months, new engineers could spin up services without rebuilding the basics — no rewrite, no re-architecture, just faster shipping.Today, I own full-stack feature development, review pull requests, collaborate with developers through pair programming, and contribute to building Claude Code workflows that improve how we develop and ship software.

AI-accelerated delivery

Solo-built a full HR management system — attendance, calendar, authentication — in two weeks using Cursor, back when AI-assisted development was still new. That instinct carried over to Axy, where I now help configure the teams Claude Code workflows to keep everyone shipping faster.

AlphaBI

Express → Fastify migration

Led a full migration of an existing system from Express to Fastify alongside a complete UI redesign — modernizing the stack's performance and maintainability without disrupting active development.

AlphaBI

Internal tooling for the team

Built an internal npm package for logging and debugging, giving engineers across AlphaBIs systems consistent visibility instead of each team solving observability on their own.
