Tariq Saiyad is a Senior Software Engineer based in Wellington with nine years of experience building full-stack, accessible, and high-performance web platforms and data pipelines. He has led end-to-end projects for the New Zealand Ministry of Education, introducing headless architectures with Next.js, Drupal, and AWS, and currently builds serverless data workflows using AWS CDK, Lambda, Step Functions, and Glue.
