About Me

Backend Engineer at Shikho Technologies — Bangladesh's leading edtech platform serving millions of learners. I own and evolve the distributed backend: architecting Golang microservices, designing event-driven pipelines with Kafka, and operating data stores in MongoDB and Redis — sustaining sub-100ms p99 latency even during peak exam rushes.

On the infrastructure side, I manage containerized workloads with Kubernetes and Docker, maintain GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, and provision cloud resources on AWS — enabling zero-downtime releases and elastic autoscaling. I treat observability as non-negotiable: every service ships with structured logging, distributed tracing, and alerting before it reaches production.

I also build AI-assisted tooling for content teams and real-time analytics dashboards that surface learner engagement data at scale. Outside work, I sharpen algorithmic thinking through competitive programming — 1000+ problems solved, ICPC Asia Regionalist, ranked 6th in Bangladesh at IEEEXtreme 17.0. B.Sc. CS from Jagannath University with published research on ML-based ASD detection (97% accuracy).

Backend Architecture

Design and own production microservices in Golang — event-driven with Kafka, REST & gRPC APIs sustaining 10k+ req/s under peak exam load.

DevOps & Cloud

Kubernetes orchestration, Docker, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and AWS (EC2, S3, RDS) — zero-downtime deployments and autoscaling for Bangladesh's school-rush hours.

Performance Engineering

Redis caching strategies, query profiling, and connection pooling — consistently hitting sub-100ms p99 latency across high-concurrency quiz and analytics APIs.

Data & Streaming

Real-time pipelines with Kafka and Redis Streams, MongoDB at scale, and time-series analytics — observable from day one with structured logs and distributed tracing.

Competitive Programming

1000+ problems solved on Codeforces & LeetCode. ICPC Asia Regionalist. Ranked 6th in Bangladesh at IEEEXtreme 17.0.

Research & Academics

B.Sc. CS, Jagannath University. Published ML-based ASD detection research — 97% accuracy. JNU IUPC 2023 Runner-Up, Lead Organizer 2024.
