About Me

I'm Shaiful Islam Shabuj, a Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience designing and operating mission-critical backend systems — from high-volume Order Management Systems serving 20+ apparel brands to multi-provider AI development pipelines.

I specialize in C#/.NET, cloud-native architectures across Azure, AWS, and GCP, and complex external API integrations. Clean architecture and SOLID principles are how I ship maintainable, production-grade systems.

Deep in AI-assisted development and agentic tooling — I build open-source tools that make coding agents more capable, controllable, and secure.
