About Saqib

Are you looking for a developer who doesn't just write code, but understands, integrates, and deploys systems? Then you've come to the right place.
I am a Full Stack Developer & DevOps Engineer from Essen, NRW — specializing in backend systems, REST APIs, ERP integrations, and AI infrastructure for German SMEs and corporations.
What sets me apart: I developed and deployed Germany's first Lexware Office Connector for a logistics ERP live — automated invoicing, real-time payment reconciliation, bidirectional data synchronization. Not a proof of concept, but actual production operation.
Furthermore, I bring direct project experience in AI infrastructure: hybrid architecture, RAG systems, vector databases, and cloud AI integration into existing corporate workflows.
Projects I undertake:

  • REST API Development & System Integration
  • ERP Connection & Process Automation
  • DevOps, CI/CD Pipelines & Cloud Deployment
  • AI Workflow Integration & RAG Implementation
  • GIS Data Processing & Infrastructure Planning

I work remotely and on-site in NRW — in German and English.
