Muhammad TaqiHaider
1.5 years shipping production backend systems that don't just work — they perform.
// about.me
Built on fundamentals.
Performance-first backend engineer. 1.5 years in production. Still obsessed with the craft.
“I get a weird kind of satisfaction when a slow API becomes fast.”
At QBS Co., I profiled a high-traffic monitoring endpoint, identified the exact bottleneck, introduced Redis caching — response time went from 1.6s → under 600ms. Clean problem, clean solution.
Over 1.5 years across NestJS and .NET Core, I've shipped distributed systems, async pipelines, geospatial backends, and ML inference microservices — always with measurable outcomes.
Core Stack
Work Highlights
- ▸Cut API response time from 1.6s → <600ms via Redis caching + profiling
- ▸Designed distributed auth: OAuth2, JWT, 2FA, RBAC over gRPC & Docker
- ▸Rebuilt Azure document pipeline sync→async — 70% processing time reduction
- ▸PostGIS geospatial query restructuring + indexing — 25% faster under load
Personal Project
LiveTrackWise — AI Finance Platform
56-endpoint NestJS/PostgreSQL backend · Angular PWA · Flask ML microservice on Hugging Face — transaction categorisation 88% accuracy, anomaly detection AUC-ROC 0.87. Solo. End-to-end.

Where I've shipped.
Production systems, distributed backends, and measurable outcomes across 1.5 years.
Associate Software Engineer
Feb 2026 – Present- ▸Cut API response latency from 1.6s to under 600ms by introducing Redis caching for third-party responses, eliminating redundant external calls on high-traffic monitoring screens.
- ▸Engineered SEO-optimized SSR dashboards (Next.js/TypeScript) surfacing 21 real-time KPIs across org, individual, and product-level monitoring, with live-stream log playback via AWS S3.
- ▸Implemented authentication and RBAC across 5+ microservices — including JWT authentication, refresh token handling, Redis-backed session management, and role-based authorization.
Trainee Software Engineer
Nov 2025 – Jan 2026- ▸Replaced a manual admin workflow by building an RBAC/IAM interface in Next.js managing 278 permissions across workspace-level feature gates with bulk assignment support.
- ▸Built two production backend services — inventory management and SLA workflow orchestration — using gRPC for real-time inter-service communication across Dockerized microservices.
- ▸Integrated the WhatsApp Business API to automate live ticket delivery and customer notifications at scale.
Associate Software Engineer
Mar 2025 – Oct 2025- ▸Reduced per-request DB hits from 6–8 queries to 2–3 by refactoring .NET Core service logic under Clean Architecture, preserving full API backward compatibility.
- ▸Eliminated a document generation bottleneck by architecting an event-driven async PDF pipeline (Azure Functions + Azure Queue Storage), cutting processing time from ~1.6s to 400–500ms per document; implemented SignalR for real-time chat notifications platform-wide.
- ▸Implemented polygon-based geospatial filtering for real estate listings using PostGIS and Google Maps API, reducing spatial query execution time from 2.1s to 600ms on a multi-tenant SaaS platform.
.NET Intern
Dec 2024 – Mar 2025- ▸Built distributed microservices using Docker, gRPC, and CQRS, delivering Workspace Management, Live Monitoring, and Employee Tracking modules with 25% improved inter-service performance.
- ▸Independently developed Product and SLA services; implemented OAuth2 authentication with 2FA and a Neo4j-based recommendation engine with WhatsApp automation using multi-hop graph traversal.

What they say.
Colleagues and mentors on what it's like working with me.
I had the pleasure of mentoring Taqi as one of my first three mentees on project Ajeek-KSA, and I was genuinely impressed by their clever logic in building business process flows and their passion for learning system design. Their independent work consistently demonstrated fast delivery without compromising quality, showing both skill and dedication. I highly recommend Taqi for any team looking for a talented .NET developer with strong analytical thinking, rapid learning ability, and a commitment to delivering high-quality work.
