About

I'm Zawad, currently serving as a Software Engineer IV and Team Lead at Techzu. My career has been a journey through the full stack, from building robust backend systems in Java and PHP to leading development teams and managing software solutions in the healthcare and manufacturing sectors. I am deeply passionate about system design, particularly in creating high-availability environments and optimizing complex architectures where human lateral thinking still holds the edge over AI. Beyond the code, I'm a strong advocate for flexible workplace cultures and the ethical use of emerging technologies. I love sharing knowledge through technical cheat sheets and engaging with the global tech community to build secure, scalable software. I'm always open to connecting with fellow engineers and leaders to discuss system architecture or the future of responsible AI.
