I build and break things occasionally.
I'm a software engineer based in London, UK, specializing in high-performance, distributed systems for the financial services industry. I architect scalable microservices solutions that drive business value through optimized performance and reliable software ecosystems.
Say hi!About Me
Hi - its Huda Kukaswadia (yes, it's a mouthful!)
I'm a Software Development Engineer at Lloyds Banking Group, building robust systems and crafting solutions that not only excel under the hood but also provide tangible value to users.
I'm curious about all things quant, especially distributed systems, concurrency, and solving tricky algorithmic puzzles.
Technologies I have been working with:
- ▹Java
- ▹Python
- ▹C#
- ▹C++
- ▹TypeScript
- ▹React.js
Outside of work, you'll find me playing chess, going for a run or hitting a lagree class. I also dine out (a lot) at those notoriously hard-to-get reservation spots—someone's got to keep the chase alive.
