I care about the systems that stay fast under load.
I'm Zaid, a software engineer based in Hyderabad. I spend most of my time on the unglamorous parts of software that quietly decide whether a product feels good: latency, throughput, and what a single query really costs at scale. If something can be faster, I want to know why it isn't.
I've been building production systems for a couple of years now, mostly around search infrastructure, AI pipelines, and high-throughput APIs. The thread through all of it is the same: take something slow or manual, find where the time actually goes, and make it disappear. B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering.
I'm a software engineer at Vujis, working on search and AI features that run against real production load. On the side I run Antymo, a deal-tracking tool for independent creator managers. It pulls every brand deal, payment, deadline, and commission into one pipeline so nothing slips through the cracks. It's where I get to own the whole stack and ship on my own terms.
I'm happiest when I can measure the thing I'm improving. I reach for profiling before intuition, keep deterministic code around the parts that genuinely need judgment, and care a lot about abstractions someone else can still read six months later. I'd rather ship a narrow thing that works than a broad thing that mostly does.
Off the clock I'm a serious believer in good food, a Breaking Bad rewatch on principle, and The Office playing in the background for roughly the nth time. Equal parts type-safety, clean abstractions, and dark mode.
