About Me

I'm a Software Engineer based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with deep expertise in Go, Kubernetes, and cloud-native infrastructure. I specialize in building distributed systems that scale — from low-level Linux networking stacks to Kubernetes operators that automate complex multi-cluster environments.

My current work involves architecting a full Cloud-in-a-Box platform — integrating OpenStack, Harvester, custom load balancers with Envoy Proxy, and Database-as-a-Service solutions. I'm also a core contributor to KubeSlice, where I engineered WireGuard-based VPN tunnels achieving ~200x throughput improvement over legacy solutions.

Outside work, I'm an elite competitive programmer — ranked in the top 1% on Codeforces (Master, 2102), top 0.09% on LeetCode (Guardian, 2735), and an ICPC Asia West Continent Finalist with a global rank of 34.

Cloud in a Box

Go OpenStack Envoy Proxy KubeDB Connect RPC PostgreSQL
  • Architected a custom networking stack integrating Harvester and OpenStack with low-level Linux networking components (VPC, Subnet, DHCP, VXLAN, OVS).
  • Designed a custom load balancer controller with Envoy Proxy and an Envoy Gateway control plane utilizing Gateway API, natively integrated with OpenStack networking.
  • Built backend APIs with Go Connect RPC and PostgreSQL for state management.
  • Provided Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) utilizing KubeDB (in-house product), designing backend APIs.

KubeSlice

Go Kubernetes WireGuard gRPC Bash OCM OpenShift
  • Engineered Kubernetes operators and CRDs to facilitate secure multi-cluster networking and automate tenant onboarding across OCM and OpenShift.
  • Implemented high-speed, WireGuard-based VPN tunnels for inter-cluster communication, increasing throughput by nearly 200x compared to legacy OpenVPN.
200x throughput improvement vs OpenVPN

Envoy Gateway & Proxy

Go C++ Kubernetes gRPC Protobuf
  • Developed Gateway API CRDs and controllers in Go to enable dynamic Layer-7 routing and database protocol support (SQL Server, Oracle).
  • Enhanced Envoy Proxy by integrating Layer-7 filters with STARTTLS and protocol-aware security mechanisms using C++.
