Syed Hussain Imam

Senior Software Engineer

Crafting robust, scalable, and secure backend solutions for seamless digital experiences.

About

Over the past 3 years I have had the privilege of working at various different companies that have given me a variety of diffrent learning experiences and the opportunity to drive real change.

I was part of the founding team at a Y Combinator backed start-up where I helped take a product from the whiteboard to helping thousands of Pakistani's across the world build a more secure financial future for themselves.

Currently I'm at Trukkr, where I'm building scalable, real-time, fault-tolerant systems to fuel Trukkr's expansion across Pakistan and the Middle East while providing innovative solutions to the complete regional logisitics pipeline. 

Besides work, I am either a full-time cheerleader for the Pakistani startup ecosystem, going through my ever-expanding reading list, beating my last 5K time, or finding myself eternally lost in the  Lands Between.
