I’m Faraaz, a Fullstack developer who enjoys building fast, clean, and visually polished web experiences.

Bits, Bytes , and Me

From APIs to databases, I make machines do what I want them to.

Developer

Hey, I’m Faraaz Ashraf — a backend-focused Software Engineer dedicated to building clean, scalable, and reliable systems. I work at Klugsys, a Germany-based tech company, where I build backend services using Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and Docker. My focus is on developing predictable, production-grade systems that prioritize clarity, maintainability, and long-term stability.

I love solving challenging technical problems — whether it’s designing high-performance APIs, optimizing data flow, or refining architecture to eliminate bottlenecks. My engineering approach ensures the systems I build are robust and future-ready. Clean code and predictable behavior guide how I work.

Before becoming backend-focused, I worked extensively with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS. This full-stack foundation helps me design backends that pair perfectly with real-world frontend requirements.

I’m deepening my backend expertise — exploring advanced FastAPI patterns, optimizing database performance, and strengthening DevOps workflows with Docker. I code daily, build side projects, and study system design to sharpen my fundamentals.

Beyond building real-world systems, I actively sharpen my problem-solving mindset through platforms like LeetCode. I enjoy breaking down complex algorithmic challenges, exploring patterns, and improving my speed and accuracy with data structures, dynamic programming, and system-level thinking. This constant practice strengthens how I approach backend engineering — helping me write more optimized logic, reason about performance edge cases, and make better architectural decisions.

Career Journey

Every experience unlocked a new skill, every project a new achievement.
