Backend platform work
I’m especially interested in backend and platform roles where APIs, integrations, and reliability really matter.
Backend Software Engineer
Hello. As-salaam alaikum. Hola. Bonjour. Xin chao. Konnichiwa. Namaste. Ciao. Ola. Hallo. Merhaba. Shalom. Hej. Ahoj. Jambo. Sawubona. Habari. Ndewo. Sain uu. Sat sri akal. Privet. I'm Tahmid Chowdhury.
I build backend systems with TypeScript, NestJS, and a focus on clarity and reliability.
I turn messy integrations and data flows into systems teams can rely on.
About
A little about me
I’m a backend-focused software engineer who likes making complex systems feel simple, steady, and useful.
At Victaulic, I help modernize internal platforms into cleaner, more scalable services using NestJS, Angular, SQL, and Azure. A lot of that work means untangling legacy systems, improving background jobs, and making integrations easier for teams to depend on.
I’m also building AISeq, where I lead the architecture of a wellness genomics platform with TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Prisma, and clean architecture. That work includes shaping versioned data models and building APIs around structured, workflow-driven experiences.
The common thread in my work is backend systems: APIs, workflows, integrations, and data-heavy platforms that need to stay understandable as they grow.
Outside of engineering, I like traveling, photography, and cars, especially older BMWs and Porsches. I also enjoy working on my own E46, which probably says a lot about how much I like understanding how things are put together.
Currently
What I’m focused on right now
Thoughtful systems
I like work that sits between product and engineering, where clean architecture has to support real teams and real workflows.
NYC-area opportunities
I’m currently most focused on backend engineering opportunities in NYC and Jersey City.
Experience
What I’m working on
Victaulic
Software Engineer
I build and improve internal platforms that support logistics, operations, and finance workflows across distributed teams.
- I build backend APIs and background jobs with NestJS, TypeScript, and SQL
- I refactor legacy systems into services that are easier to maintain
- I troubleshoot distributed systems and production integrations
- I turn business requirements into practical backend solutions
AISeq
Co-Founder & Head of Engineering
I lead the architecture and development of a wellness genomics platform from the backend outward.
- I design the backend architecture with TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Prisma
- I build workflow-driven APIs and authentication systems
- I define clear system boundaries for AI-assisted features
- I design versioned data models that can evolve cleanly over time
I also bring earlier experience in BPM and financial systems from my time at Savana.
Projects
A few things I’ve built
Case Study · Personal Project
BankStack
A Plaid-powered finance backend that brings accounts, transactions, and payoff planning together in one place.
NestJS
TypeScript
PostgreSQL
Prisma
Plaid
Outcome: Pulls financial activity and repayment planning into one clearer workflow.
- Built NestJS APIs with TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Prisma
- Connected Plaid for account linking, balance sync, and transaction ingestion
- Modeled debt workflows and planning logic around real financial data
Case Study · Personal Project
StockScope Pro
A sentiment analysis app that turns financial news and Reddit chatter into ticker-level signals.
Next.js
FastAPI
TypeScript
Python
Docker
Outcome: Makes noisy news and social sentiment easier to scan by ticker and trend.
- Built a Next.js and FastAPI app for ingestion, scoring, and analysis
- Aggregated news and Reddit data through reusable API pipelines
- Added background processing, caching, and VADER-based sentiment scoring
Case Study · Victaulic
Enterprise Integration Platform
An internal platform for keeping manufacturing and construction data in sync across business systems.
Angular
NestJS
Azure Service Bus
Autodesk Forge
MuleSoft
Outcome: Helps teams rely on faster, cleaner data flow across internal and external systems.
- Split a tightly coupled monorepo into separate frontend and backend services
- Modernized the stack from Node 12, Angular 11, and NestJS 7 to current versions
- Built event-driven integrations with Azure Service Bus, Autodesk Forge, and MuleSoft
- Improved reliability by fixing production issues and refactoring legacy flows

Let’s talk
I’m currently open to backend and platform engineering roles in NYC and Jersey City.
If you’re building thoughtful internal tools, APIs, integrations, or data-heavy systems, I’d be glad to connect.
