Senior🎓
Top SchoolAsfand Qazi is a Senior Software Engineer based in Leicester with 17 years of experience delivering pragmatic, scalable systems across cloud, big data and regulated finance domains. He blends hands-on engineering with architecture and team leadership, steering cloud migrations, data pipeline builds and high-stakes remediation work that averted major regulatory penalties. A pragmatist who champions "dumb and easy to understand" designs, he consistently focuses on simplicity, testability and operational robustness so teams can move faster with fewer surprises. His work spans Ruby/Rails, AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka and Terraform, with a track record of lifting teams via coaching, process improvements and realistic estimation practices. Curious about machine learning and AI, he pairs that interest with a strong background in building reliable production systems for high-throughput and compliance-sensitive environments. Notably, he has repeatedly led cloud transformations and emergency recoveries where clear automation and immutable infrastructure paid off under pressure.
