👋🏻 Hi, I’m Junaid.

I’m a senior software engineer based in Bengaluru, currently working at dbt Labs.

My work sits at the intersection of distributed systems, developer experience, and AI-native engineering.

Work #

Previously at Atlan, I wore multiple hats across the following domains:

Platform Engineering

I worked on the Atlan App Framework that enables customers, forward-deployed and internal engineering teams to build on top of the Atlan platform faster and better.

Data Engineering

I’ve built a lot of metadata pipelines for databases, data warehouses and BI integrations using Argo Workflows, JDBC, and Python.

AI-Native Developer Experience

I contribute on a few side quests around figuring out the tooling investments that help engineers ship faster with LLMs, Cursor and Claude Code.

Not Work #

On weekends you’ll find me reading in cubbon park, doing bike rides or cycling across bengaluru.

I do street photography sometimes, you can find my photos on my unsplash page.

I do a lot of right-brain writing on my substack, you can find it here.
