About

About Sovaid Shah — Software Architect in Lahore

I take full-time Software Architect and Lead Full-Stack seats when a product needs someone who can set the rendering, API, and job strategy — then ship the critical path in Next.js, Rails, or .NET before the architecture drifts.

Profiles: LinkedIn · GitHub

I work across ASP.NET Core, Ruby on Rails, Next.js, React, Vue.js, GraphQL, Azure, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Leadership means mentoring engineers, shaping architecture, and translating fuzzy product asks into systems you can operate at 2am.

Education: Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering from Punjab University College of Information Technology (PUCIT), Lahore, Pakistan, completed 2021. Recognition includes Employee Excellence Award (2023) and Internal Hackathon Winner (2022).
