Portrait of Samrood Ali

Hi 👋 I’m Samrood Ali, a Software Engineer (SDE II) with ~4 years of experience building and scaling web applications from startup MVPs to large-scale platforms with 20M+ users.

I specialize in full-stack development (React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, Next.js, Docker, AWS/GCP) with a strong focus on performance, scalability, and user experience. My journey spans working at an early-stage product startup, and now delivering impact at PeopleGrove, an American ed-tech company serving a global audience.

🌍 Alongside technical expertise, I bring excellent communication skills and proficiency in English, having worked extensively with cross-functional teams across time zones at an American product company. I value clear communication as much as clean code, and thrive in collaborative, fast-moving environments.

🚀 I love solving tough engineering problems, shipping impactful features, and integrating AI into modern web systems. I can individually take ownership of features end-to-end—from design to deployment—while also excelling in collaborative team settings. Whether it’s architecting scalable backends, crafting intuitive frontends, or delivering business-critical systems, I make technology both useful and reliable.

🤝 Beyond coding, I’m passionate about mentoring junior developers, fostering knowledge sharing, and helping build strong engineering cultures where teams can learn, grow, and thrive together.
