Summary
Kashaf Ahmed is an SDE III based in Bengaluru with 8 years of engineering experience building full-stack, cloud-native systems that prioritize performance and developer experience. She has a strong backend pedigree in Node.js, Express, AWS Lambda and event-driven microservices, paired with modular front-end work in React, TypeScript and state libraries like Redux and Zustand. At Drishya AI Labs she drove end-to-end automation—from Terraform-managed infra and CI/CD to scalable AWS pipelines handling tens of thousands of documents—and improved system maintainability through reusable components and coding standards. Her work spans domain-specific tooling (AutoCAD/DWG processing, Forge integrations, 3D/2D annotation) and data pipelines (OCR, DynamoDB tooling, Neo4j knowledge graphs), often delivering measurable efficiency gains. Motivated by product thinking, she blends hands-on coding with team leadership and a knack for turning complex workflows into developer-friendly abstractions. A self-described “tech debt collector,” she’s as comfortable resolving tough merge conflicts as designing systems that avoid them.
