Backend Software Engineer focused on correctness, scalable APIs, and reliable cloud-native services.
PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Backend Software Engineer with 3+ years shipping reliable, scalable services in Go, Python, and TypeScript across SaaS and cloud-native environments on AWS. I’m CKA Certified, and I lead with correctness, API design, and reliability—working closely with product, design, and operations to get things shipped.
In my recent work, I built multi-provider storage integrations (S3-compatible + GCP) with GDPR-aware routing, quickly adopted by enterprise customers and delivered with zero data-correctness incidents post-rollout. I’ve also reduced private-cloud customer escalations by ~30% through a safe migration-abort flow using Redis Pub/Sub and Go concurrency, and modernized backend platform behavior by rebuilding navigation with opt-in flows and analytics instrumentation (driving 10% adoption in the first month). I’ve delivered these outcomes through thoughtful trade-offs, instrumentation, and event-driven approaches, and I’m equally comfortable spanning distributed systems, backend performance, and cloud infrastructure.
