Who I Am

Crafting Systems That
Handle Millions

I'm Md. Sakir Ahmed, a Lead Software Engineer based in West Agargaon, Dhaka, Bangladesh. For over six years, I've been designing and building backend infrastructure that doesn't flinch under pressure — whether that's 10 million API requests per day or sub-second response requirements for a 30-million-user mobile platform.

Currently at eGeneration PLC, I lead a 10-person engineering team delivering backend services for Grameenphone's MyGP app. My work spans the full backend stack — from microservices design and Kubernetes orchestration to database query tuning, caching strategies, and CI/CD automation. I care deeply about code quality, system reliability, and mentoring engineers to grow their craft.
