## Experience

### Software Engineer III - Fin.com (Dec 2025 - Present)
Stablecoin-powered global payment infrastructure company. Early engineer building core backend services from the ground up, primarily in Go, leveraging AI-driven development for rapid delivery. Built a double-entry bookkeeping ledger microservice serving as the core financial record-keeping system, with SHA-256 hash-chain balance integrity for a tamper-evident audit trail. Built a Role-Based Access Control system with a 3-tier role hierarchy and Redis-cached permission resolution, plus team management and a reverse proxy enforcing scope-based access control on API traffic. Built an internal API gateway for securely calling external financial APIs (payments, remittance, KYC) without sharing secrets, with per-user service ACLs, cryptographic request signing, and hot-reloadable Consul configuration. Designed a cross-currency fee calculation engine supporting bidirectional forward and reverse calculation against live FX rates. Integrated partners for virtual account provisioning and payout disbursement across USD, AED and EUR rails.

### Data Engineer II - Pathao (Jul 2024 - Dec 2025)
Designed dynamic funnel analytics system processing 500M+ data points. Built Bangla transliteration microservice increasing search coverage by 15x. Developed personalization algorithms reducing checkout navigation time by 32%. Designed A/B testing framework for data-driven product decisions. Built modular data models using dbt with optimized queries for cost savings.

### Data Engineer I - Pathao (Mar 2023 - Jun 2024)
Built ML models for ETA prediction in Dhaka and Chittagong, improving within-threshold rides from 20% to 60%. Developed address parsing service improving hub-level coverage by 10% and saving ~102K BDT/month. Built Bangla-to-English transliteration algorithm for address parsing. Redesigned Firebase user behavioral data pipeline processing 50-60M rows/day. Managed fraud detection systems for food vertical. Conducted A/B test analyses identifying ~$7K USD/month in potential savings. Optimized Redis storage reducing memory consumption by 72%.

### Data Engineering Intern - Pathao (Oct 2022 - Feb 2023)
Built CLI tools for data dictionary workflows. Developed first ML solution for ride pickup ETA prediction for Dhaka city. Researched data governance solutions. Worked on fraud detection using machine learning.
