Rao Muhammad Rayan Sikandar

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE I am a full-stack software engineer with hands-on experience building and scaling production systems used by thousands of users, with a strong focus on cloud infrastructure, backend architecture, and automation. I have led cost-optimization and infrastructure migrations on Google Cloud in direct collaboration with Google’s regional engineering teams, achieving up to 70% reduction in operational costs. My work spans large-scale logistics automation, secure distributed systems, and database architecture, including zero-downtime migrations, cross-border order flows, and performance-driven schema design. I have delivered revenue-enabling systems such as voucher and promotion platforms, implemented end-to-end security using custom authorization layers, and built resilient pipelines that significantly improve operational efficiency. Beyond engineering execution, I work closely with founders, stakeholders, and international partners to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions, while consistently resolving high-impact production issues and improving key business metrics. EDUCATION BESE SEECS , Islamabad , 3.23 (2022) INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE Markaz YC W22 28-Mar-2025 - 01-Jan-2026 I worked closely with the Google Cloud team from the Singapore region to migrate infrastructure to GCP, reducing operational costs by 70%. I engineered large-scale integrations with international logistics partners, including Speedaf, automating thousands of cross- border orders and designing end-to-end China order flows through direct collaboration with Chinese 3PL stakeholders. I architected and deployed a Voucher Management System with Zong CMPAK, unlocking new revenue streams and promotional capabilities. I secured the entire codebase using custom Lambda authorizers and robust SQL protection mechanisms, safeguarding the platform against attacks. I also automated supplier onboarding pipelines, doubling operational efficiency, optimized database schemas to support scalable product variations, and built dynamic per-status messaging features in close collaboration with founders to significantly enhance customer experience. On a daily basis, I resolved critical customer service and engineering issues impacting thousands of active users, and improved delivery success rates for the top-selling category by 9%, directly contributing to higher profit margins and increased earnings for underprivileged communities. FINAL YEAR PROJECT Sedata Ai A developer first observability and security evaluations platform. https://app.sedata-ai.tech TECHNICAL EXPERTISE Full Stack Engineer (Backend heavy) I bring strong technical expertise across backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and modern web technologies. My core strengths include designing secure and scalable APIs, building serverless and event-driven architectures, and working with both SQL and NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Supabas ...
