@khizarnawab
Software Engineer building full-stack products, scaling analytics, and delivering resilient distributed systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Engineer who architects and ships full-stack web applications for AI-powered products. At Wizard Perks, I architected and launched a Next.js/React/Tailwind/Supabase platform that grew to 3,000+ active users and led a Tailwind v4 migration across a monorepo, cutting code duplication by 20%.
Previously as an Associate Software Engineer at DCore, I built full-stack features with React, NestJS, and GraphQL, strengthened reliability with 100+ Jest/React Testing Library unit tests, and improved production stability through Kubernetes/Helm troubleshooting and Kibana-driven debugging. I also enjoy hard systems work—I've implemented a Raft consensus algorithm from scratch in Go with 99% data consistency and fast leader failover.
