Summary

Seniorπ
Top SchoolAzhar Iqbal is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience building backend systems and APIs, specializing in Python, Django, Flask, Django REST Framework, GraphQL and AWS. He has designed event-driven microservices using Kafka and Debezium, built federated GraphQL supergraphs with Apollo Federation, and implemented resilient serverless patterns with Lambda, SQS and DLQs. Comfortable across the data stack, he has engineered ETL processes, complex Postgres queries and integrations that sync multiple databases for reliable analytics. A pragmatic problem solver and strong communicator, he routinely modernizes legacy codebases and surfaces technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders. Based in Lahore, he blends hands-on implementation with systems thinking and a persistent, curious drive to turn complex requirements into user-centered solutions. Non-obvious: he pairs backend engineering with practical CI/CD and media-processing experience, having implemented AWS Elemental MediaConvert workflows and real-time webhook syncing.
