About Me
Learn more about my journey as a Tokyo-based senior software engineer, my philosophy, and my passion for crafting intuitive experiences.
I'm Zafar, and I build experiences. Based in Tokyo, Japan, my focus is on creating useful, impactful products that solve real-world problems.
My professional experience spans the full spectrum – from the rapid, ground-up innovation required in startups to navigating and modernizing complex systems within large, established enterprises. This dual background gives me a unique perspective on architecting scalable solutions, whether taking an idea from zero-to-one or cleaning up and enhancing capabilities within existing, large-scale architectures.
My technical toolkit is broad – spanning full-stack development (web, mobile, serverless, edge), DevOps, product management, and more. Regardless of the environment, i enjoy simplifying complexity and building robust solutions (earning me the occasional nickname 'Code Deleter'!).
I operate with a mindset of "Don't Stop Building" embracing rapid iteration cycles and a pragmatic approach guided by first-principle thinking. Clear, ego-free communication is paramount, ensuring we iterate towards the best outcome, regardless of the project's scale or context.
If you have a project or an idea you're passionate about—whether it's a nimble new venture or a challenge within an established system—I'd love to hear about it.
Enough talk, let's get it done!
