About me

I'm Ubaid and I'm

Hello! I’m a Software Engineer working with Python and AWS to build scalable, reliable, and serverless systems.

My experience spans across a wide range of AWS services including CloudFormation, Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, SQS, EventBridge, MediaConnect, and others. I focus on designing automation workflows, cloud orchestration, and event-driven architectures that keep systems resilient and observable.

I enjoy problem-solving, writing clean and maintainable code, and continuously learning new cloud-native patterns.

My skills

My skills & experiences.

Over the past few years, I’ve focused on building cloud-native applications and serverless architectures using AWS, Python, and Rust. I design orchestration workflows, event-driven systems, and infrastructure automation with services like CloudFormation, Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, SQS, EventBridge, and MediaConnect.

I also have experience with TypeScript, REST APIs, CI/CD pipelines, and observability (logging, tracing, monitoring) using tools such as OpenTelemetry and Honeycomb.

Earlier in my journey, I worked on Java, web development, and Android, and while those skills are not my main focus today, they shaped my foundation as a developer.

Beyond tech, I enjoy cooking, swimming, and dance — hobbies that keep me creative and balanced.

The Builder's Journey

Long before I was architecting orchestration systems at Evertz, I was a student driven by a passion for building. My journey started with experimentation—from Java-based desktop apps to my first Android messengers and full-stack web templates. While my focus has since shifted to large-scale cloud-native backend engineering, these early projects represent the foundation of my engineering mindset and my lifelong habit of building from scratch.
