Adnan Ahmed

I am a Lead Software Engineer with over 10 years of proven experience. I have lived and worked in Canada, Germany, and Dubai, building and scaling web and mobile applications across various industries. I specialize in delivering reliable, high-impact solutions for startups, scale-ups, and established companies. I have been a founding engineer and have built teams and products from inception to significant scale. Some notable achievements include Almosafer: a travel platform that grew from 20 people to 1000+ people, handling 40k+ flight and hotel orders per day, Tradeling: a B2B commerce platform where I was employee #3, helping achieve +1 million products, +100k buyers, and +10k sellers, and currently at XpertSea: a B2B AI platform for the shrimp farming industry, where I've built core services and data pipelines that save hours for the team each week.

Over the years, I have worked with a variety of technologies including Node.js, TypeScript, React, Next.js, PHP, Laravel, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, and many others. I have worked in a variety of domains including Travel, B2B e-commerce, Fintech, SaaS, Healthcare, EdTech, and AI platforms and have worn many different hats. This has given me a broad perspective and a deep understanding of the software development lifecycle, from microservices architecture to team leadership.

I am a Full-stack developer at heart (taking rough problem statements and turning them into polished products from all aspects is my speciality) with an eye for good design and expertise in all parts of the stack including the frontend, backend, databases, devops and cloud.
