Summary
J. Bahri is a Staff Software Engineer based in Singapore with over a decade of hands-on experience building scalable backend systems and leading engineering teams, most notably helping Grow Grab from an early VC-backed startup into a post-IPO tech company. He blends deep practical knowledge of web stacks (Ruby on Rails, Node, PHP) with a taste for bleeding-edge tooling—currently exploring Web3 and Generative AI—and has returned from a strategic sabbatical ready to drive product and platform progress. Beyond enterprise engineering, he has entrepreneurial roots: founding influential web publications and a long-running webzine that shaped local indie culture, showing his ability to communicate technical ideas to broader audiences. At Streem he now applies that mix of technical leadership and product sensibility to media monitoring and insights. Colleagues describe him as a software builder who pairs pragmatic system design with a hacker’s curiosity and a willingness to experiment with next-gen tech.
