Haseeb Majid

As a seasoned software engineer, I have spent over 5 years developing backend web services using Python and Golang. However, over the past 2-3 years, I have developed a keen interest in platform engineering, particularly in areas like CI/CD, improving DORA metrics, and utilizing Docker for containerization. In my current role, I am part of the platform department, where I work on identifying ways to standardize tasks across our product teams, such as authentication. My focus is on finding efficient and scalable solutions that can streamline development processes and improve product quality. Beyond my work, I enjoy exploring new technologies, and most recently, I have been experimenting with SvelteKit and Pocketbase. I find this tech stack to be particularly engaging and enjoyable to work with. As a speaker, I am excited to share my knowledge and experiences with other software engineers, particularly those interested in platform engineering and improving their development workflows.
