A programme estimated at more than twelve months was delivered in six months, including platform modernisation, refactoring, and new operational modules. - Built isolated queue infrastructure coordinating millions of operational events each month, with priority routing, traceable attempts, delivery telemetry, and safe replay. - Integrated Stripe, Revolut, TransferMate, NexPay, and QuickBooks into an idempotent, auditable payment reconciliation workflow for multi-currency tuition. - Introduced bounded AI workflows for request classification, retrieval from approved knowledge, and vision-assisted checks. Models may classify, retrieve, and flag. They do not silently approve, reject, or rewrite the system of record. - Stack on the college platform includes Laravel, Vue.js, MySQL, Docker, AWS, Redis, and Tailwind CSS. ### Software Engineer — ShareTrip Limited, Dhaka, Bangladesh — 2020 to 2021 Core engineer on an online travel booking platform and a nationwide B2B travel-agent network for flight, hotel, and holiday reservations. - Engineered payment channels connecting commercial banks and mobile wallets, including bKash, Nagad, and City Bank. - Built a real-time notification engine connecting consumer travel portals with B2B agency networks. - Tuned queries and cached endpoints for booking traffic spikes. - Stack included PHP, Yii2, Laravel, RabbitMQ, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB, and AWS. ### Software Engineer — Soft IT Security, Dhaka, Bangladesh — 2019 to 2020 Built multi-tenant dropshipping platforms and school ERP software. - Designed multi-tenant database architectures so separate clients could run isolated shops on one codebase. - Integrated eBay, Shopify, AliExpress, and Gambio. - Tuned relational schemas, query plans, and Redis caching for catalog lookups. ### Loochi — Tech Lead and backend architect — 2022 to 2023 On-demand booking product with real-time provider discovery, push dispatch, and a web admin. Flutter and Dart clients, NestJS and Laravel services, TypeScript, Firebase, and OneSignal, with explicit API contracts so mobile and web could ship together. ## Technical range - Leadership and architecture: technical direction, delivery ownership, code review, mentoring, incident learning, reversible migrations, idempotency, and multi-tenant systems. - Backend: PHP, Laravel, NestJS, Node.js, Lumen, Yii2, REST, PHPUnit. - Clients: Vue.js, React, TypeScript, JavaScript, Flutter, Dart, Tailwind CSS. - Data and infrastructure: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, pgvector, AWS, Docker, CI/CD. - Finance and AI: Stripe, Revolut, TransferMate, NexPay, QuickBooks, OpenAI, Google Gemini, retrieval-augmented generation. ## Leadership model - Decisions need an expiry date: record the constraint, trade-off, owner, and the signal that reopens the decision. - A critical flow is incomplete until another engineer can explain the failure and replay it safely. - AI gets a boundary before a prompt. Ground the context, show sources, route low confidence to a person, keep an audit trail, and keep a deterministic path when the model is unavailable. - Architecture should reduce dependence on one person’s memory. ## Writing Field notes live at https://golamsorwar.com/blog.
