Nesar Ahmed

I’m a Software Developer with 6+ years of professional experience, including over five years as the primary engineer behind an early-stage robotics startup. I specialize in cloud-to-edge architecture, distributed systems, and real-time data synchronization.

I led a full platform pivot, transitioning from a Django/Next.js recipe application to a distributed cloud-to-edge system using NestJS, MQTT, and RabbitMQ to control physical kitchens. As the sole engineer for 5+ years, I architected end-to-end platforms that connected customers’ meal ordering with automated, on-premise individual virtual kitchens.

On the cloud side, I built the web application with Django, DRF, Celery, Redis, RabbitMQ, and Next.js, enabling recipes discovery, order scheduling, and real-time synchronization via WebSockets. On the kitchen side, I designed a resilient execution platform that handles inventory management, order execution, and equipment coordination.

I also developed an MQTT-based control layer that transforms recipe instructions into machine-readable, trackable hardware commands—driving 99.9% operational consistency across devices. From access control (role-based, entity-level CRUD permissions with JWT) to deployment (Docker, Nginx, Certbot/Let’s Encrypt, Linux/VPS), I focus on robust, scalable solutions that hold up under evolving requirements.
