What I'm looking for

I seek backend roles focused on Python/Django API development, testable code, scalable systems, collaboration in Agile teams, and opportunities for technical growth.

I am a results-driven Junior Software Engineer with strong expertise in backend development, RESTful API design, and problem solving. Currently working at Shadhin Lab LLC, I contribute to building scalable recruitment platforms by developing clean, efficient APIs using Django and Django REST Framework, optimizing database interactions, and improving system reliability through structured unit testing. My work has directly contributed to performance improvements and reduced QA bugs.

Alongside my professional experience, I have a strong foundation in Data Structures and Algorithms, having solved 1,200+ problems across platforms like Codeforces, CodeChef, and LeetCode, and actively participated in 80+ programming contests, including ICPC Asia Dhaka Regionals. This competitive programming background has strengthened my analytical thinking, algorithmic efficiency, and ability to solve complex problems under pressure.

I also led and developed GradBond, a full-stack alumni and student communication platform featuring real-time chat, notifications, role-based authentication, and job/event management, built using Django, PostgreSQL, and WebSockets. This project earned 3rd place at the Software Development Project Showcasing 2024, reflecting both technical depth and practical impact.
