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 ML systems in GenAI and Predictive Analytics following MLOps best practices - 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.
