The Journey & The Horizon

Engineering is about solving hard problems, honouring commitments, and building things that matter.

My journey began in 2012 as an inquisitive teenager in Savar exploring Linux kernels, web servers, and open-source software. After earning a 4-Year Diploma in Computer Technology (conferred 2017) and completing comprehensive Red Hat (RHCE curriculum) and Cisco (CCNA curriculum) systems training, I entered the industry with a commitment to unyielding technical curiosity.

Along the way, life brought defining priorities: during my university degree, I chose to pause after 6 of 10 semesters to ensure my wife Rehola could complete her own Computer Science & Engineering degree without interruption through pregnancy and motherhood, as we welcomed our daughter JimHa. Balancing intense production delivery at 10up with family education crystallized my pragmatic approach to systems: building things that genuinely endure under real-world pressure.

From architecting design documents for Google Site Kit in Reykjavik, Iceland, to pouring concrete and configuring treatment beds for Motion Mechanics on CRP Road, I approach every challenge with direct hands-on execution.

πŸ” The Long-Term Horizon: ChickenTech
Before retiring to a modern, technologically enhanced, free-range chicken farmβ€”ChickenTechβ€”where I plan to deploy distributed edge sensor networks, automated microclimates, and solar-backed monitoring systems, I remain dedicated to solving high-stakes architectural challenges for world-class engineering teams.
