ShakirFarhan/README.md

✨ Hi, I'm Shakir Farhan

I'm a Backend Engineer passionate about designing scalable, event-driven systems, thriving in high-impact startup environments, and enabling developer communities to grow and build together.


Whether it's scaling microservices to production or mentoring thousands of students through live bootcamps,
I’m constantly toggling between building for users and building for builders.


🔧 What I Love Doing

[00:01:13] ✅ Designing systems that scale — without becoming a mess
[00:01:45] ⚡ Writing real-time backends using events, sockets, and queues
[00:02:08] 🛠️ Automating deployments so smooth, they feel illegal
[00:02:39] 🔍 Debugging performance issues until the logs go silent
[00:03:02] 🎙️ Teaching what I know through roadmaps, sessions & bootcamps

Logs I love to see. Problems I love to solve.
