About Me

A quick intro in 295 words

Intro

I am Syed Yawar Hussain, a Lead/Staff-level software engineer with 8+ years of professional experience delivering web platforms from concept to production. My core stack spans React, Next.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, and Node.js, and I have led multiple projects across architecture, execution, and stakeholder alignment.

I currently work as a Principal Software Engineer at Arbisoft, where I own high-impact product delivery for healthcare and marketplace clients.

Leadership Snapshot

  • Build delivery plans that connect technical decisions to product outcomes.
  • Translate ambiguous requirements into clear milestones, estimates, and ownership.
  • Stay hands-on in architecture and implementation while mentoring engineers.
  • Keep business, client, and engineering discussions aligned during execution.

Selected Engagements

Fitnescity Health (Engineering Manager)

I lead Fitnescity's web platform end to end: public website, customer portal, and internal admin tooling. I built the public site with Next.js + Strapi, improved SEO/Core Web Vitals, and designed an AWS-based results ingestion pipeline that reduced manual operations.

Invaluable (Full-Stack Engineer -> Tech Lead -> Team Lead)

At Invaluable, I progressed from implementation ownership to team leadership. I delivered overhauls and new features, broke down requirements into execution plans, and coordinated technical and business decision-making through delivery.

DataIAm (Frontend Architecture)

For DataIAm, I focused on frontend architecture and critical feature delivery for an AI-assisted Salesforce data-cleaning product, including a transition from Next.js-focused foundations to a React-first application structure.

How I Work

  • Start with outcomes, then design the leanest architecture that can scale.
  • Prefer measurable quality improvements (performance, reliability, maintainability).
  • Treat cross-functional communication as part of engineering execution.
  • Optimize for momentum without sacrificing codebase clarity.

Outside Work

I enjoy turning complex systems into simple user experiences and helping teams move from reactive delivery to intentional engineering planning.
