Basil M. Al-Isa

Full-Stack Developer · Vancouver, BC

I build and scale SaaS web applications with React, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript. At Meaningful Work, I own the CRM and dashboard modules of a platform that 100+ nonprofit associations use to manage members, sponsors, and events — shipping features end-to-end, from performant UIs to API design to AI features built on the OpenAI API.

Experience

Meaningful Work

2022 – Present · Vancouver, BC

Full-Stack Developer

  • Own the CRM and dashboard modules of a multi-tenant SaaS platform used by 100+ nonprofit associations — member journeys, deal pipelines, and engagement analytics (Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, MongoDB).
  • Cut load times of the platform's most-used views by ~50% through query optimization, caching, and code-splitting.
  • Built AI features on the OpenAI API — auto-generated content and member-data summaries in daily use by association teams.
  • Mentored developers and helped set the team's frontend standards across a ~20-person product team.

Redemptive

2021 – 2022 · New York (Remote)

Full-Stack Developer

Built a business-intelligence platform (Ruby on Rails) for a travel company client — consolidating booking, CRM, and accounting data into one source of truth with interactive revenue dashboards, producing the investor-ready reporting used in a successful $1M fundraise.

Projects

HireSignal

Live appGitHub

An LLM-powered job-fit engine: paste a resume and a job description and get an evidence-verified fit verdict — every claim is backed by verbatim quotes that are machine-checked against the source documents, so the model can't fabricate evidence. Includes ATS-style requirement coverage, a kanban application tracker with calibration stats, multi-job comparison, and evidence-grounded resume rewrites.

Wholesale Ordering Platform

Live in production
