Summary
Saajid Farooq is a site reliability and DevOps-focused software engineer with nine years of experience building scalable internal tools and data pipelines at companies like AWS, Capital One, and Workday. He combines full-stack development (Java, Python, Scala, React, Spring Boot) with cloud-first architecture and CI/CD automation to improve developer workflows and security at scale. At AWS he optimized tools that analyze million-line data outputs for faster debugging, and at Capital One he managed pipelines and Lambdas to streamline data distribution across warehouses. A UMBC computer science graduate, he pairs a curiosity about how systems are built with a sustained commitment to mentoring and community (Major League Hacking coach and hackUMBC organizer). Pragmatic and driven by the motto “Do more,” he gravitates toward solving large-data operational problems that quietly boost developer productivity.
