Summary
Mohamed Baig is a Senior Software Engineer based in Toronto with 11 years of experience designing and delivering cloud-native, high-performance systems across e-commerce, automotive, and enterprise domains. He thrives on Kubernetes, Node.js, Java, and scalable architectures, having led migrations to AWS EKS, built Kubernetes clusters with KOPS, and implemented CI/CD pipelines for 30+ services. Mohamed has repeatedly rescued slow, costly systems—cutting Solr indexing from an hour to 15 minutes, reducing a maps API bill from $10,000 to $200 monthly, and turning Lambda jobs that timed out into sub-10-second tasks. He blends deep hands-on engineering (from Turbo Pascal beginnings to modern serverless and GraphQL federations) with practical AI integrations, having built PDF classification pipelines using Azure Document Intelligence and LLMs. Known for quickly ramping into large codebases and creating industry-first tools (custom EDI parsers and searchable financial-document classifiers), he pairs pragmatic optimization with continuous learning.
