Usman Saif

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over eight years of experience building full-stack, cloud-native applications and AI-enabled products. I work across the software lifecycle, combining backend systems, frontend interfaces, and DevOps practices to deliver reliable, business-aligned solutions.

I have designed and optimized GraphQL and REST APIs, implemented AWS-based authentication and serverless services, and leveraged LLMs for prompt engineering and advanced automation. I build ETL/ELT pipelines and Power BI dashboards to transform data into actionable insights and have implemented CI/CD, automated testing, and infrastructure-as-code to ensure repeatable, safe deployments.

I mentor and lead small teams, conducting code reviews and interviews, and have demonstrable results improving developer output and code quality. I have delivered projects ranging from tax-processing backends and recommendation systems to cross-platform apps and an award-winning Android medical app, always focusing on pragmatic, maintainable solutions.

I wear multiple hats and prioritize matching technology to business needs: scalable architectures, observable systems, and ML-enabled features. I seek roles where I can continue to lead engineering efforts, mentor teams, and build impactful products using modern cloud, ML, and full-stack technologies.
