Summary
Raashid Anwar is a Senior Software Engineer with six years’ experience building reliable, secure, and scalable systems across startups and tech giants, currently developing Generative AI healthcare solutions at AI71 in Abu Dhabi. He has a strong full-stack background—React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis—and a track record of improving performance and security, from optimizing SQL load and migrating lambdas to implementing advanced password hashing and WebAuthn 2FA at GitHub. His work spans infrastructure and product: at Google he built tooling to improve fleet fungibility and cost efficiency, and at Flipkart and PhonePe he drove payments and fulfillment features that materially reduced latency and processing time. Known for pragmatic engineering, he pairs user-facing improvements (simplifying npm CLI flows) with backend hardening and SLO recovery. A Jadavpur University Computer Science graduate, Raashid brings cross-cultural experience across India, the US, and the UAE and a knack for turning operational pain points into automated, measurable gains.
