About

Currently, I am the CTO and a founding member of Traders Connect, where I lead the team to build next-generation trading apps. Previously, I worked at Pathao, where I developed and optimized backend services and microservices that powered the largest ride-sharing platform in Bangladesh. With over 6 years of experience in Go, Python, SQL, MongoDB, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Elasticsearch, and distributed systems, I have implemented multiple solutions that improved the performance, scalability, and reliability of various platforms. During my time at Pathao, I wrote and maintained over 20 microservices, implemented a customized library to export metrics to Prometheus, optimized complex MongoDB queries and internal service flows, designed and built a sophisticated backend service to handle app layout configurations, and contributed to an ML model that detects fraud drivers. I also mentored new recruits, helping them understand the system architecture and codebase. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering from Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, where I was known for fixing technical issues and assisting fellow students with their projects. Outside of work, I love to play football and travel to new places. I also enjoy meeting new people over a cup of coffee and sharing my insights and learnings on my personal blog.
