I am Umama Rahman — a Software Developer based in Canada with over 4 years of experience developing scalable data platforms, backend systems, and cloud-native applications.
I specialize in distributed data processing, backend engineering, and cloud infrastructure, with hands-on experience in Java, Scala, Python, and AWS. I have contributed to large-scale data and performance engineering projects at Nasdaq Verafin, Qualcomm, and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB).
My work spans data lakehouse design, high-throughput ETL pipelines, and video processing frameworks, leveraging technologies like Apache Spark, AWS EMR, Terraform, and FastAPI. I am passionate about building reliable, high-performance systems that turn complex data into actionable insights.
