Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolUsama Ashraf is a Founding Engineer with a decade of full-stack experience building production-grade systems across startups and scale-ups in the UK and internationally. He prefers end-to-end ownership, having led integrations, infra optimizations, and product-facing engineering efforts—from NestJS subscription platforms to high-throughput SMTP pipelines handling thousands of alarms per minute. At Calipsa he combined hands-on Node.js, C++, and C# work with product and customer-facing responsibilities, cutting AWS costs ~30% and reducing Postgres CPU by ~40% prior to its acquisition. He later led engineering at Mimica and now helps shape AI-driven product development at FuseAI (YC W25). Multilingual and active in the developer community (npm, GitHub, and tech writing on dev.to/Medium), he blends pragmatic engineering with a knack for bridging legacy systems and modern cloud-native architectures. Notably, he thrives on projects that mix scarce data, real-time constraints, and customer integrations—turning complex operational requirements into reliable, shippable software.
