Top SchoolShafreen Anfar is a software architect and distributed systems specialist with 11 years of experience building microservices, middleware and API-first platforms, currently shaping the Ballerina standard library at WSO2. He progressed from implementing high-throughput ESB features to leading design and implementation of a programming language tailored for networked applications, blending language design with practical integration concerns. As architect he reviews and drives standard library proposals across GraphQL, gRPC, REST and security modules, and contributes to the Ballerina developer site documentation and API examples.
