Zafar Khan is a Senior Software Engineer based in Berlin with 11 years of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications using TypeScript, React, Next.js and NestJS. He has a strong track record of migrating legacy systems to modern stacks—most notably replatforming a Ruby on Rails back office to NestJS/Next.js—while improving performance, reliability and developer experience. Zafar combines hands-on API and backend architecture work (Postgres, Zod validation, Playwright E2E testing) with frontend optimization and RBAC implementations, and he routinely mentors teams and runs Git training to raise code quality. Practical and cost-conscious, he has also driven AWS cost reductions through frontend modernisation at Careem. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic architecture planning, smooth migrations, and measurable operational improvements.
