What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure Python backend, authentication, IoT, or real-time industrial systems, with opportunities to work on embedded hardware, security-focused software design, and production-scale APIs.

At Naseej, I design and develop RESTful APIs for production systems using Python and Frappe, integrate Zoom and BigBlueButton to automate virtual-session and attendance workflows, and contribute session-attendance functionality to the Python BigBlueButton open-source project.

I've also built IoT device-management platforms, real-time industrial logic software, and IEC 60870-5-101 communication support for electrical SCADA systems. My work spans Python, Django, Frappe, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, OAuth2, OpenID, SAML, Linux, and embedded systems.
