Hi, I'm Hanan Ahmed
I'm a backend-focused Software Engineer specialising in Python and serverless systems on AWS. I’ve delivered production-grade platforms across telecoms, public sector, and AI startups—often leading full lifecycle delivery from infrastructure to APIs. I care deeply about clean code, system design, and building backend systems that scale without drama.
