About Me

I’m a self-taught backend and full-stack engineer with six years of professional experience building distributed systems, APIs and modern web applications.

Today I’m a backend developer and technical team lead at OXUS Afghanistan, CTO and technical co-founder of FoundrOS, and a software developer and development instructor at Top In Town Technology, where I built the learning platform end to end. Before that I was a senior backend developer at Netlinks, a full-stack developer at Listoli, and a software engineer at Top In Town Technology.

My core stack is Go, TypeScript, NestJS and Next.js on PostgreSQL and Redis, shipped with Docker. I also work on applied AI: embeddings and vector search, semantic matching services, and MCP tools that let AI agents navigate large codebases.

Open to remote opportunities globally.
