01. About Me

I'm a Senior Software Engineer based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, currently working at Miaki Media Ltd as an augmented resource for Grameenphone, where I help build and scale the MyGP Payment Orchestration Layer — integrating 10+ payment gateways and processing millions of transactions for over 50 million subscribers.

Over the past 6+ years I've shipped software across fintech, government digital transformation, enterprise HR, warehouse management and garments ERP — taking projects from requirements and database design through to production deployment and on-call support. I care about clean, well-tested code, pragmatic architecture, and systems that stay fast and reliable under real load.

Outside of core development, I'm deepening my DevOps practice — Docker, Kubernetes, ArgoCD and GitOps workflows — and learning Go for high-performance backend services.
