About Me
Hi, I'm Muhammad Shaeel, a dedicated Backend Engineer with a passion for building scalable and efficient applications. Currently at Salla E-Commerce Platform, I work on high-throughput systems serving 90K+ merchants across the MENA region. With 4+ years of professional experience, I specialize in backend development, microservices architecture, and cloud technologies, creating robust, scalable server-side solutions.
My expertise spans across modern web technologies including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, React, Angular, Node.js, and NestJS. I have hands-on experience with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP, and I'm proficient in containerization, microservices architecture, and CI/CD pipelines.
I thrive in Agile environments and believe in writing clean, maintainable code that solves real-world problems. Whether it's optimizing performance, implementing complex features, or migrating to modern architectures, I'm always excited to tackle new challenges.
