About Atif
I'm a Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead with 10+ years of experience building and scaling high-impact platforms for companies like Deel, Condé Nast, and TelevisaUnivision. I specialize in full stack development, infrastructure design, and developer experience, using tools like Node.js, React, NestJS, Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS.
I enjoy working on projects that demand thoughtful architecture, clean code, and high availability at scale. Whether it's designing microservices, optimizing backend performance, or technical automation workflows, I bring both hands-on depth and a team-oriented mindset.
I'm currently open to remote freelance or contract opportunities, particularly where I can help scale systems, improve delivery pipelines, or build products from the ground up.
