Principal Software Engineer · Remote

I build full-stack products and own them front to back.

I’m Usama, a software engineer with 8 years across the stack: design systems and React/Next.js and Angular on the front end, Node, NestJS and Python on the back, plus the cloud they run on.

A bit about me

I started out fixing bugs on a real-device testing platform and grew into owning whole products. Along the way I’ve worked at a mobile-testing company and a services firm, on everything from NFT platforms to a community-solar member portal.

What I enjoy most is taking something from a rough idea to a well-built, maintainable product. That means designing the system, making the architectural calls, and sweating the details that make software feel solid: clean code, good performance, and interfaces that hold together.

I lean on AI-assisted development (Claude Code) across my projects to move faster, but I keep a tight loop around it: a structured review of what the AI produces, then a manual pass before anything ships. The speed helps; the review is what keeps the quality where it needs to be.

I work remotely for a US-based company and I’m open to remote roles.
