Srejon's Professional Picture

Hello! I'm Srejon Khan 👋

Software Engineer and Founder. I build and break backends, firmware, and the things between them. Whatever I'm working on, the question I keep asking is: can I take one more step? Otherwise, being kind everywhere.

Software Engineer with 4+ years building high-throughput production systems across distributed services, real-time video infrastructure, embedded hardware, and developer tooling. Currently at a German HealthTech. Proven track record in microservices, observability, product engineering, and leadership.

Alongside my full-time Job, co-founded ArektaCompany to build ArektaCommute, a full-stack Commuter and Fleet Management Platform for the Bangladesh Education and Transport Sector. Building the full stack from ESP32 firmware through MQTT pipelines to web, mobile and desktop, with signed OTA updates and Platform Ops.

Final-year BSc in CSE (Data Science Major) at BAIUST, with a thesis on Computer Vision. Served as President of BAIUST Computer Club, coached 102 students, and organized two major CSE Fests with a notable 24-hour hackathon for 51 teams.

4x National Hackathon Champion, 10x Finalist (8 podiums), NASA Space Apps 2023 Global Nominee.
