Backend-focused full-stack engineer building distributed, event-driven, and LLM-powered SaaS on Node.js and AWS.
PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I’m backend-focused fullstack engineeron distributed systems and event-driven architectures, delivering AI-powered SaaS platforms using Node.js, TypeScript, and AWS. I build REST/GraphQL APIs, microservices, asynchronous processing pipelines, and LLM-integrated systems from architecture through production deployment.
In my most recent role as a founding backend engineer, I improved task-generation latency from 30+ minutes to near real-time, reduced LLM operational costs by 30%, and cut infrastructure costs by 40% through a hybrid EC2/Lambda deployment model. I also strengthened production reliability with feature flags, queue deduplication, retry policies, dead-letter queues, and operational monitoring.
