What I'm looking for

I seek a technical role where I can lead backend/full-stack projects, mentor engineers, work with ML/NLP, and ship scalable, well-tested systems within collaborative teams.

I am a computer science graduate and full-stack software developer with proven experience designing scalable backend architectures and building production web applications. I focus on delivering performant APIs, robust databases, and seamless frontend-backend integrations.

As Lead Software Developer at BIKAY, I improved API response times by 30%, reduced database load by 40%, and increased test coverage to 85% while streamlining CI/CD and deployment with Docker. I have built systems that handle tens of thousands of users and managed role-based access, real-time sync, and secure patient record handling.

I have a strong open-source and leadership background—serving as Coding Club President, contributing packages with 1k+ NPM downloads, and publishing 100+ technical articles. I mentor junior engineers, run workshops and hackathons, and prioritize clear documentation to accelerate onboarding.

I enjoy applying ML and NLP to real-world problems and building developer-friendly tools and platforms. I seek opportunities where I can lead technical initiatives, mentor teams, and deliver high-impact, maintainable software solutions.
