As a polyglot software engineer with a strong background in software development and machine learning, my experience includes firsthand work with C++, Go, Python, and TypeScript for over 5 years.
Currently, I am a machine learning engineer at Siemens EDA AI – creating the next generation AI platform for Electronic Design Automation (EDA).
I can exit Vim. In addition to that, I am skilled in
Languages
Python,
C++,
Go,
JavaScript (ES6+),
TypeScript,
C#,
PHP
I use C++ as my primary language at Siemens. I have an extensive
experience in of teaching and researching using Python. I
have also worked more than two years as a software developer mostly using
JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript. Recently, I
led a team of four developers to build
festive.rocks — a low latency, high-performance
online event hosting platform. The backend of this platform is written in
Go.
Apart from that I worked in several projects using C# and
PHP both in academia and industry. I led a team for
developing the official website of the CSE
Department of Khulna University, Bangladesh that is mostly written in
PHP.
I strongly suggest checking my
LeetCode profile to glance

Natural Language Processing
I have a deep dive into machine learning and deep learning during my research internship at Metabob. This internship is part of my Mitacs scholarship which aims to explain software bugs in natural language. The research domain includes software engineering, deep learning and natural language processing. I further sharpen my knowledge while teaching in the Process of Data Science course.
One of the early recognition of my Data Science skill is placing among the top 15 teams in Datathon Bangladesh, 2019 — the biggest data-centric competition in the country. I have several relevant certification from Coursera (see Certifications).
Web Technology
Node JS,
Vue JS,
React,
REST API,
Bootstrap,
CSS3,
Flask,
FastAPI
I have extensive work experience in Node JS, Express JS and Vue Js (check Experience section). In nearly all the projects I worked, I used RESTful API to communicate between client and server. I also worked in developing several mobile applications using React Native.
Alongside these most prominent technologies, I used Web Socket and WebRTC to make a video calling service. I also developed a novelvisualization tool using D3. During my job at Metabob and Siemens, I used Flask and FastAPI to deploy machine learning models.
Database
Mongo DB,
MySQL,
PostgreSQL,
Redis
During my job as a software engineer, MongoDB was the go-to database system. I also have used redis for caching in several projects. In my recent venture, festive.rocks, I used PostgreSQL as the database system. I have led a team to develop the official website of the CSE Department of Khulna University, Bangladesh, which uses MySQL as the database system.
Tools & Platform
Docker,
Google Cloud Platform,
Amazon Web Service,
Microsoft Azure,
Linux
As a software engineer, in several cases I orchestrated my own cloud services as well. I designed the development environment Daency based on Docker and Docker Compose. I have rewritten the subscription backend of Wonster Words iOS game using Microsoft Azure FaaS, Cosmos DB, and Queue Storage. I also taught GCP in the Intro to Software Developement course. I use git for 11 years now.
Developed a hybrid rerank
RAG
pipeline for searching relevant documents using both semantic and
keyword-based search (OpenSearch & Milvus).
Architected and jointly developed an Auth service that facilitates multiple
authentication backends (e.g., OAuth, LDAP) and multiple authorization
schemes (RBAC, ABAC).
Developed an MCP tool
to search all existing tools, which reduces hallucination during MCP
tool calls by ≈ 90% when the number of available tools is more
than 20.
Jointly architected and developed an on-premise LLM fine-tuning
platform based on PyTorch, transformers,
and PEFT libraries supporting several fine-tuning
methods (e.g., LoRA,
QLoRA) and task types (e.g.,
sequence classification, causal LM, question answering).
Developed a CI/CD pipeline with automated unit tests, static
analysis, four different deployments based on Podman, Docker,
Kubernetes & Helm, and nightly stress and performance
benchmarking.

In Daency, an
online platform to learn dancing interactively:
Led the architecture and development where used
TypeScript, Express JS, Vue JS,
Mongo DB, and Docker as the tech stack.
Collaborated with the stakeholders to engineer requirements and plan
sprints in the agile process with a globally distributed team, while
reducing requirement changes during sprints from ≈ 30% to < 5%.
Architected accounts, reports, and employee management components.
Written a stock management microservice using Golang that
reduces the latency 10X.
Built a desktop app for the Point of
Sales component using Electron, which also
works in offline mode with an eventual consistency scheme.
Migrated the subscription backend of
Wonster Words
iOS app store game from node.js to ASP.Net
Used a Queue Storage
and Azure
FaaS to
handle event streams from the iOS app to analyze user behaviour and
handle subscription jobs, storing the results in a
Cosmos DB.
Reduced the failure rate by ≈ 10% and overall system latency by
≈ 30%.
Contributed to several in-house React Native based mobile applications.
Hosted two in-house workshops on ‘Modern Web Development with Vue JS’ and ‘Sustainable Architecture with TypeScript’.

Sad Story of A Dino
One of my friends, dino, volunteered to rearrange the contents of this site. As she is a dino with a prehistoric sense of humour, she didn’t catch the sarcasm in the Testimonials section. So, she rewrote the whole thing which was really better (compared to AI).
Let’s keep a minute of silence for that pure little dino.
