Ali Hassan
Data Engineer @Covent • Backend Engineer L3
I’m Ali Hassan, a Python developer at @Covent, skilled in Django and DRF. I built a real estate data pipeline that processes 1M+ properties daily, turning hours of manual property analysis into seconds. I engineered concurrent batch processing that improved ingestion throughput by 10x while maintaining zero data loss across 370M+ records on AWS RDS. I also work on Agentic, where I fine-tune AI models, prepare learning datasets, and validate interactions between tools, ensuring fields, relationships, and workflows actually work.
When I get bored, I read Rust docs, a language I picked up to balance my life. Little secret: my
neurons decided that if I only knew Python, life would be too easy, so I learned a low-level
language too
. I rewrote Treko, a company Python desktop app, in Rust, and improved its CPU
efficiency from 40-50% down to 0.3-1%.
