Senior🎓
Top SchoolBijan Afshar is a Senior Software Engineer based in Brighton with nine years of experience building cloud-native platforms and full-stack systems. He has repeatedly accelerated delivery and cut costs—most notably reducing a book-processing pipeline from 1550 to 25 minutes and trimming AWS spend by 15% through serverless and decommissioning strategies. At Perlego he drove platform improvements from Backstage integration and multi-region CI/CD to onboarding materials and automated disaster recovery, and now continues platform work at CMC Markets. Comfortable across frontend, backend and infra, he has shipped performance wins like a 20% e-reader load improvement and faster time-to-production via iterative experimentation. He also brings domain nuance from academic open-source bioinformatics visualization work, having contributed D3-based tools used by international plant research groups. Colleagues rely on him as a pragmatic mentor who pairs deep technical fixes with developer-experience improvements.
