PakistanWhat I'm looking for
Senior Backend & Applied AI Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing and shipping production systems for high-growth products. I combine deep Node.js/TypeScript backend engineering, AWS architecture, and practical AI delivery with the ownership expected from a technical lead.
At Revcloud, I lead a team of 6 engineers and own backend architecture for scalable AWS-native services. I redesigned an intelligent routing service from roughly 1,500 ms to under 100 ms, contributing to an approximately 10% conversion improvement. I have also delivered AI-powered image optimization and migrated inference workloads from Runpod to AWS SageMaker for stronger speed and reliability.
Across earlier roles, I built Node.js APIs, React and Next.js applications, asynchronous processing pipelines, Dockerized services, and Web3 integrations.
