Hey, I'm Javed 👋🏻

I'm a generalist senior software engineer with a passion for building maintainable, tested apps with clean code and architecture. My career has been spent in startups and scaleups, where I've had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects and technologies. I have had to wear a lot of hats, from writing code to managing teams and projects, and I've always used the opportunity to learn and grow.

I currently work on backend services and applications written in Rust. I also have experience with Node.js, TypeScript, and React. On the mobile and desktop side I've worked with Flutter and Qt. I have also worked with a few essential AWS services, and can manage infrastructure with Terraform. My best skill is my ability to learn quickly and adapt to new technologies and environments.

    Permanent Data Solutions
    Full Stack Software Engineer

    PDS is a product company that builds products and manages infrastructure for the arweave network. I was the second developer to join the company and was responsible for building the first product, ArDrive. ArDrive is a decentralized storage solution that uses the arweave network to store files. The app was built with Flutter, for easy cross-platform compatibility.

    Later I worked on ArDrive Turbo, which was a backend service built on AWS. We leveraged AWS Lambdas, ECS, and S3 to build a scalable backend for the app. The goal was to provide a way for customers to store files on the arweave network without having to buy AR themselves.

    I also worked on a number of other tools, built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS. Towards the end of my role with PDS, I took on more of a SRE role.
