Hi, I'm Taha — Senior Backend Engineer for Product-Focused Startups

I help fast-moving teams build, scale, and ship backend systems with clean, maintainable code.

  • 🔧 9 years in backend & cloud (Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, AWS)
  • 🚀 Worked on B2B SaaS platforms, event-driven systems, and multi-region infrastructure
  • 🤝 Collaborated closely with product managers and founders — async, autonomous, and reliable
  • 🌍 Open to freelance, consulting, or full/part-time backend roles (remote only)

✅ How I Can Help

I’m best at:

  • Building MVPs fast — from blank repo to live in 4-6 weeks
  • Cleaning up legacy systems — refactor, modularize, containerize
  • Scaling backends — queues, observability, rate limits, cloud infra
  • Owning slices of the product — APIs, auth, deployment, team onboarding

Need someone who quietly delivers and doesn’t need handholding? That’s me.


🧠 Tech Stack

  • Languages: TypeScript, Node.js, Python
  • Infra: AWS (Lambda, ECS, SQS), Docker, GitHub Actions
  • DBs: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis
  • Patterns: Event-driven, microservices, API-first, CI/CD pipelines
