About

Solutions architect and cloud engineer.

I'm a solutions architect and software engineer based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with over four years of experience designing and building cloud-native platforms, API interfaces, and distributed systems.

I currently work as a Solutions Architect at NexGen Cloud, where I design scalable cloud-native solutions for a GPU-as-a-Service platform serving thousands of customers across multiple regions. Before that, I helped build the platform from its early stages as a developer, taking it from MVP to production.

My work sits at the intersection of architecture and engineering. I care about how systems are designed, how they scale, and how they hold up under real-world conditions. I've worked extensively with Python, microservices architecture, container orchestration, and cloud infrastructure optimization.

What I Do

Most of my time is spent on:

  • Designing system architectures for cloud-native platforms
  • Building and scaling API interfaces and distributed systems
  • Optimizing infrastructure for performance and cost
  • Working with GPU cloud infrastructure and multi-region deployments
  • Architecture reviews and technical strategy

Background

I graduated with a BSc in Computer Science & Engineering from Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology (CUET) in 2021. During university, I was actively involved in the CUET Computer Club, serving as Vice President and as a competitive programming trainer.

Before moving into architecture, I spent time as a software engineer building production systems including load balancer automation, object storage integrations, automated billing systems, and high-availability deployments using Kubernetes.

Why This Site

This site is where I collect my thoughts on engineering, architecture, and the things I'm learning. It's not a polished publication. It's a working document of my thinking. Some posts will be rough notes. Others will be more considered essays. Both are valuable to me.

Writing forces clarity. You don't know what you think until you try to explain it.
