Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShawn Sarwar is a hands-on software and cloud architect with 15+ years building resilient, data-driven systems across global health, telecom, and analytics domains from Berlin. He blends deep engineering skills—from device drivers and mesh-sync protocols for offline immunization registries to Terraform-defined AWS EKS platforms supporting hundreds of isolated deployments—with leadership roles that align multi-disciplinary teams and partners. Notable work includes designing Aether, a unified interoperability layer deployed on GKE with PostgreSQL and Kafka for real-time health data, and an early CouchDB-based peer-to-peer mesh for national immunization sync. Equally comfortable in the OR as a surgical support engineer or in strategy sessions with Solution Engineering, he gravitates toward pragmatic, constraint-aware architectures. Shawn actively explores new tech—Flutter, Firebase, Unity shaders and procedural hydrology—bringing curiosity and production-grade rigor even when he’s stepped back from open source.
