Hello, I'm Faraz! 👋

I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Invictus (Samsung) with 4+ years of experience building enterprise-grade systems. I specialize in microservices architecture, cloud-native development, and performance engineering.

My expertise spans the full backend stack — from crafting high-performance caching layers with Featurebase DB achieving 40% query improvements, to migrating Apache Airflow DAGs from AWS to GCP yielding 25% cost reduction.

Beyond code, I'm a competitive programmer with a 4-star CodeChef rating (max 1936) and Institute Rank 1. I hold certifications from IIT Kharagpur in Deep Learning Specialization.
