Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolHamza Rashid is a Software Engineer II with 11 years of experience, currently based in Amsterdam and building backend systems for Grubhub’s diner application. He specializes in Java/Scala microservices, resilient data pipelines, and performance-driven caching using Cassandra and Redis on AWS, having led a BFF gateway project that unified backend responses, reduced payloads, and introduced lazy loading to improve menu page reliability and load times. Comfortable across the stack, he implements robust data-sync patterns with SQS/SNS and designs graceful degradation strategies to keep user experiences consistent during service disruptions. Early full‑stack internships sharpened his pragmatism for shipping customer-facing features, and his GitHub motto—“Mistakes are the portals of discovery”—reflects a data-driven, iterative approach to engineering.
