Senior Full-stack Developer
Iqbal Hussain
I'm a full stack developer specializing in backend architecture, with over a decade of experience building, scaling, and optimizing production platforms.
About me
I am a senior full-stack developer specializing in Python and Django. My work centers on automating workflows and building reliable systems that make data highly available and useful. I find satisfaction in writing code that makes people's lives easier.
I have always been fascinated by how things work at a fundamental level. Outside of engineering, I lean into my artistic side by taking photographs and spending quiet nights gazing sky.
