Software Engineer · Backend Engineer · Salesforce Developer
I build reliable backend systems, Salesforce automations, and production-grade web platforms that solve real business problems.
I am a software engineer based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, focused on building practical software systems with clean architecture, secure APIs, and maintainable workflows.
My work mainly sits at the intersection of:
- Backend engineering with Python, Django, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Celery
- Salesforce development with Apex, Flow, LWC, Experience Cloud, and integrations
- Production systems involving deployment, monitoring, automation, and operational reliability
- Problem solving through competitive programming, algorithms, and real-world system design
I enjoy breaking down complex problems, designing reliable systems, and turning business requirements into software that is useful, secure, and maintainable.
