Sadaqatullah N. — Software Engineer
I'm a Senior Backend Engineer with 11+ years of experience building, optimizing, and scaling production systems — the kind that don't break under pressure. My career has been defined by solving hard performance problems at scale. I reduced 30,000 database queries per API call down to 28 on a Django/PostgreSQL telehealth platform serving 40,000+ users. On a separate Laravel/MySQL platform, I cut 2,400+ queries per request to under 30 — an 80x performance gain. These aren't just numbers; they're the difference between a product that works and one that wins. I specialize in Python (Django, Flask) and PHP (Laravel), with deep expertise in: 🔹 REST & GraphQL API design 🔹 AWS cloud infrastructure (Fargate, ECS, S3, RDS, CloudWatch) 🔹 Payment integrations: Stripe (subscriptions, webhooks, dunning) & Tabby (BNPL/installments) 🔹 Async job processing: Celery, Redis, Laravel Queues 🔹 Messaging systems: Twilio WhatsApp Business API 🔹 Multi-tenancy, white-label architecture, and service-oriented design 🔹 Database optimization: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB — 150+ migrations managed Currently, I'm Lead Backend Engineer at ilik Health (Dubai, UAE — Remote), architecting a healthcare SaaS platform that has grown to 19,000+ users with $1.19M+ AED in revenue. Before that, I scaled HealthAtHand from 500 to 40,000+ users at NextGenI. I lead with both technical depth and team empowerment — conducting code reviews, mentoring junior engineers, and making architectural decisions that matter long-term. Open to senior/lead backend roles, remote opportunities, and high-impact consulting engagements.
