Summary
Saad Mir is a Staff Software Engineer in San Francisco with 14+ years building and modernizing large-scale systems across e-commerce, intelligence, and hardware startups. He specializes in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem—GraphQL, Node.js, React—and has led end-to-end migrations from REST to federated GraphQL at Walmart Global Tech, delivering measurable gains in performance and engineering velocity. Saad combines hands-on execution with architectural foresight, owning critical subgraphs, high-performance resolvers, automated data transformers, and CI/CD across hybrid cloud environments. He has a track record of solving high-stakes performance problems (for example, replacing DOM rendering with canvas overlays to visualize massive geospatial datasets) and regularly leverages AI-assisted tooling to accelerate development. Comfortable in both zero-to-one startup builds and large enterprise migrations, he translates ambiguous product needs into production-ready systems while mentoring teams and aligning cross-functional stakeholders.
