Daanyaal Sobani
Senior Software Engineer
Summary
Senior engineer with 5+ years of production ownership across data pipelines, APIs, and full-stack applications. Built and operate a 500GB+/day ETL platform on Azure; deployed this resume on Cloudflare Workers. Previously embedded within client engineering organizations at PwC — writing production code as a technical extension of their team, not advising from the outside. AI-native practitioner: Claude Code and Cursor are first-class tools in my daily development cycle. Track record of translating ambiguous business requirements into scalable systems that ship and stay up.
