Top SchoolWasi Haider is a Staff Software Engineer in Chicago with 11 years of experience building backend systems and integrations for companies like Twilio and Mailchimp. He specializes in integration-heavy back-end work, having improved validation logic and OAuth flows for notable open-source projects such as segmentio/action-destinations.
