Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolWaqas Javed is a Principal Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building high-scale, distributed systems across cloud and enterprise environments, now leading backend work for Azure AI Evaluations at Microsoft. He has a strong track record of extracting monoliths into resilient microservices, designing event-driven architectures, and improving observability and performance—evidenced by air shipment tracking coverage rising from 30% to 95% and expense service p75 latency dropping below 50ms. Comfortable in both hands-on coding and technical leadership, he has led architecture, design reviews, and cross-team integrations using technologies like gRPC, Protobuf, Kafka/Debezium, AWS Kinesis, Spring Cloud Streams, and Hazelcast. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, he pairs pragmatic cost-cutting and operational improvements with mentorship of junior engineers. Outside work he’s as likely to be found thinking about cars as he is about code, a hint of the practical curiosity that drives his engineering choices.
