ABOUT SHIRAZ JAFRI

I am a Backend Engineer with an MSc. in Computer Science from Saarland University, and I enjoy solving problems by building reliable, scalable systems.At anynines, I’ve focused on improving deployment processes and internal services. Some highlights include automating stale deployment cleanup, migrating Redis-based applications to Valkey, optimizing Dockerfiles with multi-stage builds, and streamlining CI/CD pipelines through Concourse CI. I also contributed to monitoring and observability by delivering a Prometheus dashboard portal that integrated Alertmanager, Prometheus, and Graphite.Previously at 10Pearls, I worked on projects ranging from SQL optimization for large-scale data migrations (reducing execution time from hours to minutes) to resolving critical AWS gateway timeout issues that directly improved user experience. I also developed REST APIs in Python (Flask), extended CRM functionalities with Odoo, and worked closely with stakeholders to deliver stable, business-critical features. During this time, I was twice recognized with Developer Incentive Awards for consistently high performance.Earlier, as a Machine Learning Intern at Sofcom, I explored predictive modeling by building a Python-based solution that forecasted stock prices and consistently generated profits for a client.My toolkit includes Python, Ruby, Go, Flask, PostgreSQL, Docker, AWS Concourse CI, and SQL optimization. Beyond technical skills, I value collaboration, clear communication, and continuous learning.I am particularly interested in backend engineering, cloud-native systems, and scalable architectures. I look forward to contributing to projects that solve meaningful challenges while continuing to grow as an engineer.
