Key Contributions
Replacing PHP monolith with Go microservices
Senior Backend Engineer, 2022
When I first joined Muzz, I helped the CTO and other senior backend engineers plan the migration of key functionalities from the PHP monolith to Go microservices. I laid the foundations of core services that enabled the work of 20 other engineers, and successfully migrated analytics and blocking functionalities to Go.
The migration resulted in a massive reduction in deployment times, resources required for hosting, improved observability and on certain endpoints: request latency. This lead to a better developer experience as well as material benefits to the business and it's customers.
Leading the backend team working on a new social network
Backend Chapter Lead, 2023 - present
Muzz Social is a new product in the Muzz family, it is designed to be a social network connecting Muslims across the world. From building the backend team, to laying the architectural foundations to a lot of the actual development work; there isn't really an aspect of the social backend that I have not been involved in.
Muzz Social successfully launched to more than 1 Million members across the UK, Canada, United States and Australia, with no downtime on launch.
