Hi, I'm Omar Qureshi

Hi, I'm Omar Qureshi. I help companies execute complex cloud migrations, scale for high-traffic environments, and drastically reduce their AWS costs. I also provide specialized Ruby consultancy for teams looking to scale or modernize their applications.

With over 20 years of engineering experience, I've headed the engineering department at Nmible, designed e-commerce systems at Scholastic Education, architected a Mental Health startup at BuddyApp, and powered the high-performance infrastructure for mobile games at SEGA HARDlight. I'm an unapologetic Rubyist who enjoys diving deep into infrastructure tooling, regardless of the language.

When I'm not untangling distributed systems, you can find me playing chess (badly) or cooking gourmet meals.

Need help scaling your infrastructure or modernizing a Ruby application?
