Senior Software Engineer · Distributed Systems · Remote

Hi, I'm Zeeshan.

I live in Lahore, Pakistan and work remotely for teams across the world (US/EU). Eight years in, I have debugged production issues at odd hours, built systems that teams rely on, and high-growth startups ($50 million Series B, Fortune 100 client). I love working on distributed systems, databases, and performance-critical engineering.

Right now I work remotely for Ampwise, doing AI engineering and microservices resiliency for their self-healing B2B automation agents. I also work at Olostep, a Silicon Valley startup, building structured web search for AI. Before that, I shipped systems at United Nations DGACM and led engineering at ROUTD, a $20M+ routing platform in the UK.

Outside work, I pick projects that are fun and help me learn. Like building an Android emulator cluster across a 10-server Linux farm to understand ADB, Linux systems, and automation. I also run Dev Weekends, a developer fellowship in Pakistan where we have trained 800+ engineers and certified 74. Pakistan has a growing tech scene but not enough structured paths for engineers. This is my attempt at fixing that.

These days I am exploring etcd and GitLab open-source code, studying distributed systems, Go internals, computer systems, and database engines. Writing what I learn on this blog.

Looking for roles where I can work on distributed systems, performance-critical engineering, operating systems, or databases. I care about being a good teammate and doing work that matters. If that sounds like your team, reach out.
