Syed R

I’m a Lead Full Stack Engineer with 5+ years of experience owning critical production systems end to end. I build and operate Python backends using FastAPI and Django, and I deliver modern React frontends backed by reliable API and background processing patterns.

In my current role, I own the technical roadmap and long-term health of 4 high-traffic backend systems, improving uptime and reducing production incidents by 15%. I standardized API patterns and data models across squads—reducing operational risk and accelerating feature delivery by 10%—and I integrated LLM-based features into backend workflows, cutting manual operational effort by 13%.

I also bring a distributed-systems mindset to performance, reliability, and cost. I’ve led incident post-mortems and drove systemic fixes that improved overall system stability by 25%, and I reduced LLM inference costs by 40% through optimized prompt design, caching strategies, and quantizing models—while mentoring 7 engineers through design reviews and technical guidance.
