Muhammad Saud

I’m Muhammad Saud, a Full Stack Software Engineer with over six years of experience building scalable and user-centric web applications across diverse industries. My expertise lies in developing full-stack solutions using Laravel, React.js, Node.js, and modern JavaScript frameworks, combined with hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP), RESTful APIs, and DevOps practices such as CI/CD and Docker.

What sets me apart is my ability to translate business needs into clean, maintainable, and high-performing code. From leading greenfield projects to optimising legacy systems, I’ve consistently delivered measurable improvements—reducing deployment times, boosting application speed, and enhancing user engagement. I’m passionate about clean architecture, continuous improvement, and writing code that not only works but scales.

In my current role, I led the development of containerised microservices that reduced release cycles by 40% and integrated financial APIs that expanded the platform’s service offerings. Prior to that, I worked on transitioning legacy systems into modern Laravel-based solutions and implemented performance improvements that significantly cut infrastructure costs.

I'm equally comfortable building responsive, accessible front-end interfaces in React/Next.js as I am working on robust backend logic and real-time systems. I bring a strong problem-solving mindset, enjoy debugging complex issues, and thrive in agile, collaborative environments where code quality and business value go hand in hand.

I hold a Master’s degree in Data Science (Distinction) from the University of Hertfordshire. I’m always eager to learn new tools and languages recently expanding my experience with TypeScript and Python and I enjoy staying up to date with evolving web standards and technologies.

Outside of coding, I’m a strong believer in self-improvement, team mentorship, and fostering inclusive work environments. Whether working remotely or in a hybrid setup, I maintain a high level of ownership and autonomy, and enjoy contributing to meaningful products that solve real-world problems.

I’m currently open to new opportunities in forward-thinking companies that value craftsmanship, impact, and continuous learning.
