Razak B.

Principal Software Architect and Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 13+ years of hands-on experience designing, implementing, and scaling cloud-native, distributed systems for web and mobile applications. I specialize in frontend architecture, backend systems, API design, and cloud infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on scalability, performance, security, and long-term maintainability. Since 2012, I have delivered and maintained production-grade systems across eCommerce, streaming platforms, SaaS products, and enterprise business applications. My expertise spans system design, microservices architecture, event-driven systems, and CI/CD-driven delivery pipelines, enabling teams to ship reliable, high-performance software at scale. I operate comfortably at architecture, implementation, and optimization levels, bridging product requirements with robust technical solutions. I design systems that are API-first, modular, fault-tolerant, and cloud-optimized, while maintaining high engineering standards and clean code practices.
