Discovery—specializing in Java, Go, microservices, and cloud migrations (AWS and Google Cloud). Notable achievements include breaking a legacy monolith into microservices, designing subscription and campaign platforms, and creating dataflow pipelines to handle order events at scale. Usama combines hands-on system design with people leadership, having hired and grown engineering teams, served as Scrum Master, and owned technical strategy and vendor partnerships.
