Md ZaidSiddiqui
Software engineer. I build APIs, search infrastructure, and AI pipelines at scale. Currently building Discovry.
Software engineer with 2+ years building production systems: AI pipelines, search infrastructure, high-throughput APIs. I obsess over the numbers: latency, throughput, storage. If it can be faster, I want to know why it isn't.
Currently a software engineer at Vujis, and shipping Discovry on the side. B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering.
