About Me

Hiwa Sadradin
Hiwa Sadradin - Full Stack Developer

Full-stack engineer

I build production software—operational dashboards, APIs, and data-backed platforms—where performance, reliability, and architecture matter as much as the interface. I care less about demos that fall apart under load, and more about systems teams can run, observe, and extend when traffic and complexity grow.

I'm based in Erbil, Iraq. My path started in hands-on technical work where uptime and careful troubleshooting were the job, then moved through a CS foundation into professional engineering. Since then I've shipped products for real businesses: admin and CMS surfaces, service integrations, and database layers where sloppy queries become production pain. Recently I've owned timelines, coordinated with stakeholders, and mentored juniors—because how a team builds is as important as what it ships.

I've also been in the room for live incidents—including mitigating large-scale application-layer abuse at the edge with Cloudflare (WAF, rate limits, bot management) while keeping services available. I wrote a technical breakdown of one of those incidents. I'm open to roles and collaborations where engineering judgment, ownership, and calm production discipline count.
