Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaaid Arshad is a Senior Software Engineer in New York with a decade of experience building robust data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and full-stack features across biotech, media, and civic-tech projects. He blends an electrical engineering background with hands-on software delivery—shifting orchestration to Dagster, defining AWS via CDK, and shipping scalable ETL on GCP—while often stepping in to contain incidents and document reproducible processes. Raaid excels at turning ambiguous product goals into testable, well-typed systems, improving CI/CD, IaC, and test coverage to make scientific and news-oriented workflows reliable in production. He’s built prototypes to pilots (texting interfaces, browser extensions, ML-driven recommendation engines) and iterates quickly based on user feedback. Outside of code he brings an uncommon mix of audio engineering and power-electronics experience, which informs his pragmatic, systems-minded approach to sustainable energy and civic-impact work.
