Khalid Hassan
@khalidhassan2
Software engineer specializing in backend and infrastructure development.
What I'm looking for
I'm a dedicated software engineer with a strong foundation in backend and infrastructure development, having graduated with a BEng (Hons) in Software Engineering from the University of Sheffield. My professional journey began with an internship at 3D Printing Labs in Canada, where I architected a scalable backend infrastructure using Django and PostgreSQL, significantly optimizing performance and response times.
Currently, I work at DPS Kuwait, where I have successfully built and scaled a Client Approval Management System, improving application response times by 40%. I thrive in collaborative environments, leading technical discussions and translating complex requirements into scalable solutions. My experience with modernizing legacy systems and designing resilient distributed systems has prepared me for future challenges in cloud migration and enterprise-level projects.
