Nate Zaidi

I’m an experienced Full Stack Software Engineer with over 8 years designing and developing web applications, blending strong technical leadership with design patterns and agile methodologies. I’m especially comfortable across MERN technologies and mobile development tools for Android/iOS, bringing a broad product mindset to engineering work.

At CodingQna, I’ve built scalable systems using microservices architecture with Docker on AWS ECS and automated delivery through CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and AWS CodePipeline. I’ve also used AWS CloudFormation for infrastructure-as-code (streamlining manual configurations by 80%), AWS Lambda for serverless scalability, and AWS services like S3, DynamoDB, and API Gateway for high-performance backend APIs and storage—backed by monitoring with AWS CloudWatch and New Relic. I collaborate with DevOps to optimize cost, strengthen security, and establish disaster recovery, and I’ve integrated AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor AI, Microsoft Copilot) plus LLM workflows to reduce feature delivery time by 30%.

Previously at Zocdoc as a Senior Software Engineer / Team Lead, I developed RESTful APIs and led migrations of legacy applications to modern stacks—improving performance by up to 30% while boosting reliability and maintainability. I implemented authentication and authorization using OAuth 2.0 and JWT, introduced caching with Redis/Memcached, and ensured quality with unit, integration, and end-to-end testing frameworks like Jasmine and Jest. Earlier, at DataRobot, I delivered frontend features with React and AngularJS and enhanced platform functionality by integrating third-party APIs for payments and document signing, earning a solid foundation that supports my full-stack approach today.
