Zakriya Asif Paracha

Software Engineer

I'm a Software Engineer, ex-Motive, where I built backend systems, APIs, and Apache Airflow ETL pipelines. I'm working toward full-stack, product-focused engineering, and I'm currently open to new opportunities.


A software engineer building toward full-stack, product-minded work

I'm a Software Engineer with a Computer Engineering background (BE, NUST–CEME, 2024), most recently at Motive, where I built backend systems, APIs, and Apache Airflow ETL pipelines that turned raw data into user-facing insights.

I'm currently open to new opportunities in backend and full-stack engineering, and working toward product engineering roles where I can own more of the stack and the product decisions around it. Embedded systems and hardware remain a personal interest I keep up on the side — more on Beyond Software.


A few things I've built

AI / Cloud · 2026

CPSC Compliance Assistant

A RAG app that answers US product safety compliance questions with every claim cited to the exact regulation or guidance page, built on pgvector and Claude on Bedrock and deployed on AWS.

Full-Stack · Final Year Project

Multi-Hop Robotic Warehouse Network

A Python backend for multi-hop route optimization and collision avoidance, plus an Angular dashboard for real-time fleet control and analytics.

Machine Learning / Embedded · 2026

Neural Network on an FPGA

A handwritten-digit classifier trained in PyTorch, quantized to INT8, and rebuilt from scratch as a 7-stage Verilog pipeline running entirely on FPGA silicon, with a camera in and a seven-segment digit out, and no CPU involved.
