Aquib Alam — Engineering & Design

"A candle doesn't become brighter by protecting its flame. Sometimes you have to burn a little to become a light."

I am a full-stack engineer who enjoys building things end to end, from backend systems to thoughtful interfaces in Next.js.

My journey started with a diploma in Computer Science at BIT Mesra, followed by my B.Tech at Brainware University. Since then, I’ve worked with startups, remote teams, and independent projects, always learning by building.

Backend & Systems

Designing reliable REST and gRPC services, managing database schemas, and building event-driven pipelines in Node.js and Go.

Frontend Craft

Building responsive, accessible Next.js and React interfaces with clean component composition and fast load times.
