Technical leadership
Direction without a full-time hire: architecture, vendor choices, delivery strategy, and hands-on execution when it matters.
Hello
Junaid Farooq
Lead Elixir engineer · full-stack
Programmer for 10+ years in Node.js, Elixir, and Ruby — always learning through R&D. I contribute to open source, chase hard problems, and ship production systems end to end.
Services
Building software is complex. I help teams ship with clarity — from architecture to production.
Sparring partner
Walk through trade-offs, risks, and designs with someone who has seen monoliths, microservices, and everything between.
Technical due diligence
Spot lock-in, fragile integrations, and risky contracts before they become expensive surprises.
Shipping product
APIs, background jobs, observability, and reliability — Elixir, Ruby, or Node where your stack needs depth.
Skills
Throughout the years I have worked with many facets of the stack. My focus is backend-heavy web platforms — short iterations, measurable outcomes, and systems people rely on daily.
Back-end development
APIs, monoliths and services, PostgreSQL, search, webhooks, and high-volume background work — mostly Elixir and Phoenix.
Languages
Development tools
Frameworks
Front-end development
When the product needs a UI, I work in Vue/Nuxt and React with clear contracts to the API — performance and maintainability first.
Languages

Frameworks
DevOps & platforms
AWS, CI, observability, and pragmatic automation — enough to keep teams shipping safely.

Roles and products I have contributed to — I often overlap multiple clients at once, so this list is not grouped by calendar year.
About
Hello — I have been a programmer for the past 10 years in Node.js, Elixir, and Ruby, with an appetite to learn through R&D. I contribute to open source and gravitate toward strange, complicated problems.
I still have plenty to learn, but I have shipped real systems: multi-tenant healthcare APIs, eSIM platforms, distributed search and analytics, and long-running camera and device infrastructure.
