I'm a dynamic and results-driven Senior Software Engineer with over 8 years of progressive experience in full-stack development, Identity & Access Management (IAM), and enterprise application integration.

Currently, I lead a 15-member team at Allianz Australia on a User Access Management Portal spanning Australia, New Zealand, and Malaysia — and simultaneously building the future of group commerce in Bangladesh as Co-Founder & CTO of ShareDeal.

I'm recognized for bridging the gap between technical complexity and business value — automating workflows, designing scalable IAM frameworks, and shipping mobile/web products that reach hundreds of thousands of users.
