About Me
🚀 I’m Azim Saiyed - a Lead Full-Stack Engineer who turns complex ideas into high-performing, user-loved products. With 9+ years in fintech and SaaS, I’ve architected scalable React/Node.js platforms, led cross-functional teams, and built AWS-powered microservices that process billions securely and reliably. 💡 What drives me: • Designing systems that scale without breaking • Mentoring engineers into confident problem-solvers • Shipping features that move the needle for business and users alike From untangling legacy code to delivering greenfield projects under tight deadlines, I thrive where technical depth meets product impact. And while my toolkit spans React, Node.js, TypeScript, AWS, and modern CI/CD, my real specialty is knowing when and why to use them. 🌱 Always learning - lately exploring how AI/ML, cloud-native patterns, and smarter observability can elevate user experience and developer velocity.
