A backend engineer with a
competitive programmer's instinct.

Software Engineer based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I build backend systems that handle real traffic — microservices, event-driven pipelines, and serverless workflows using TypeScript, Go, and AWS.

Currently at Flarie, where I design and maintain the backend infrastructure behind a platform serving 100K+ daily active users.

My day-to-day involves event-driven communication with Redis, serverless workflows on AWS Lambda, and analytics pipelines backed by DynamoDB and ClickHouse.

I care about writing systems that are observable, maintainable, and easy for the next engineer to pick up.

B.Sc. in Computer Science & Engineering from Port City International University (CGPA: 3.81/4.0). Thesis on customer segmentation using RFM model and data mining.

Got into programming through competitive programming — ICPC Dhaka Regional 2020 (Rank 83), Codeforces 1308. That algorithmic foundation still shapes how I approach system design.

Won PCIU Hackathon 2018 and multiple programming contests, which taught me to ship fast under constraints.
