01About

Engineer by craft, builder by nature.

I care about the parts users never see — clean data models, secure auth, reliable APIs — because that's what makes the parts they do see feel effortless.

I am a backend-focused developer from Bangladesh with hands-on experience building RESTful APIs, authentication systems, and database-driven applications.

My programming journey started with problem solving and gradually moved toward building real-world web applications.

I enjoy designing clean backend architectures, working with databases, building secure authentication systems, and connecting frontend applications with powerful APIs.

Off the clock: Outside programming, I like exploring technology, improving my communication skills, and continuously learning to become a better software engineer.
