Summary
Zain Abedin is a Full Stack Engineer based in Berlin with 9 years of engineering experience and a Master's in Computer Science (AI) from the University of Bonn, where he researched fine-tuning LLMs and retrieval-augmented generation. He has over three years building SaaS products for healthcare and customer service, driving measurable outcomes such as a 40% revenue uplift from a marketing automation campaign and large-scale event processing with Kafka. Technically versatile, Zain has owned backend architecture, transformed single-tenant services to multi-tenant, optimized queries to cut API latency by 75%, and implemented end-to-end testing and microservice splits. He pairs production-grade engineering (TypeScript, Node, Python/Django, Kafka, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch) with active research in conversational AI, bringing research insights directly into product features. He also mentors junior engineers and has a knack for turning complex data workflows—like detecting cyclic dependencies in spreadsheets—into automated, reliable solutions.
