Hello, I am Zawadul Kawum

I design and run backend systems for businesses that depend on them every day: enterprise ERP in Singapore, payments across Asia, healthcare distribution in Bangladesh, and streaming on Toffee, one of Bangladesh's biggest OTT platforms with 50M+ Google Play downloads, and T Sports. I've led a team of 53 developers, and I still write the code.

I've also built face recognition attendance, PCB mismatch detection and a TZone temperature gateway system, and I work with high-scale MongoDB clusters, Kubernetes and Active Directory.

Software Engineer IV at Techzu Ichicode, a Singapore company, working hybrid from its Dhaka office.
