Hi, I'm Ridwan

I am a design-minded software engineer with expertise in architecting and building robust cloud infrastructure and backend systems for AI applications. These days, I work on the core payments system at Prodigy Finance, helping move millions of dollars across borders reliably. Along the way, I’ve built scalable systems in MLOps, GenAI and Predictive Analytics - sometimes for startups, sometimes for Fortune 500s. I firmly believe that software should not only work like a charm, but also look like one so I like to add a dash of design to everything I do. This blog is my personal "digital garden", where I document insights and lessons from my journey, primarily as a resource for my future self and for anyone navigating similar paths.
