Mazharul Anwar

Technology Leader, Software Architect, and Passionate Advocate for Innovation

I’ve been in the tech industry for over a decade, building software, architecting systems, leading high-performance teams, and guiding startups from idea to success. Through every challenge and project, I’ve learned that adaptability, learning from failures, and nurturing a strong team are what truly drive innovation.

As the Head of Engineering - Digital at Pickles Auctions, I lead diverse technology and product streams, empowering over 200 technologists. My mission is to cultivate a culture where teams can thrive, solve meaningful problems, and embrace innovation. Whether it’s architecting cloud-native solutions, driving automation, or ensuring our platform meets the needs of our users, I believe in making technology impactful. I’m also working on building an Engineering Center of Excellence to uplift technical capabilities, foster collaboration, and set high standards across the organization. I take pride in enabling my teams to deliver outcomes that matter, ensuring that we’re not just building software, but building value.

Previously, I served as Head of Solution Architecture at Petronas, where I played a critical role in shaping and executing the technical vision of large-scale projects like ROVR. These experiences helped me realize the importance of aligning technical strategies with real customer needs, and that’s a lesson I carry forward today in every aspect of my work.

Beyond my roles, I’m passionate about mentoring engineers and helping them grow, both technically and personally. I believe in servant leadership—empowering others and creating opportunities for them to succeed. Whether I’m spending time in a terminal experimenting with new technologies, coaching a team member, or strategizing for the future, I’m driven by curiosity and the impact technology can have when used well.

If you’re interested in connecting, whether to talk tech, explore opportunities, or share thoughts on leadership and innovation, I’m always open to a conversation. Feel free to reach out!
