Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFaisal Arshed is a pragmatic software engineer and co-founder with 8 years of experience building SaaS and enterprise systems from MVP to production. He has a track record of shipping high-impact features and performance optimizations—turning multi-minute back-end jobs into subsecond services and unifying fragmented ERPs. At SmashCloud he led development for a Fortune Global 500 workplace-experience platform and streamlined tenant turnover and manufacturing workflows, while earlier roles saw him single-handedly build an email deliverability SaaS and prototype fast-to-market products for real estate and fintech. Comfortable across the full stack (React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch and AWS), he blends hands-on coding with system design and CI/CD ownership. Based in Pakistan with a Computer Science degree, he favors pragmatic engineering trade-offs that accelerate product-market fit. An underappreciated strength is repeatedly taking sole-engineer MVPs to stable, scalable services used by dozens to millions of events.
