Hi, my name is

Ahmed Anwar.

Software Architect.

I design and build scalable enterprise systems — from distributed architectures and cloud infrastructure to the engineering teams that deliver them. With over a decade of experience across the full software lifecycle, I bridge the gap between technical vision and business impact.

Things I've Built

A selection of systems and platforms I've designed and delivered — some under NDA, described in terms of architecture and outcomes rather than client names.

Enterprise Platform

Event-Driven Integration Platform

Designed and led delivery of a high-throughput integration platform for a [financial services / telco / retail] enterprise, processing X million events daily across Y downstream systems. Introduced domain-driven boundaries and a canonical event schema that reduced cross-team integration incidents by Z%.

Architecture Modernisation

Legacy Monolith → Microservices

Architected the incremental strangler-fig migration of a monolithic ERP-style application to independently deployable services. Defined service boundaries, data ownership, and deployment topology. The resulting system halved mean time to deploy and enabled independent team scaling.

Domain-Driven DesignDockerAPI GatewayPostgreSQLCI/CD
Internal Tooling

Engineering Enablement Platform

Built an internal developer platform that standardised CI/CD templates, infrastructure provisioning, and observability across X squads. Reduced new-project setup from 2 weeks to under a day and cut cross-team configuration drift.
