Hey there! 👋 I'm Nadeem, a software engineer who wandered out of the codebase and into the customer's room.
By day I'm a Forward Deployed Engineer at a freight-tech startup, working remotely from India 🇮🇳. I live right where real-world cargo meets real-world code: I dig into customers' problems, build what they actually need, and make sure the software and the shipments arrive on time. 🚚
By night I'm building my own brand, which mostly means I have more ideas than free evenings. So I build them in the open: if an idea survives a weekend, it gets a public repo, just in case it helps someone else too.

Ships with
| 📦 Shipment | 📍 Status | 📝 Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Forward Deployed Engineering | 🟢 Delivering daily | Freight-tech customers, real trucks, real deadlines |
| My own brand | 🟡 In transit | Built in public, one experiment at a time |
| Side-project experiments | 🔵 Departing often | Shipped early and openly, in case they help you too |
| Free time | 🔴 Delayed | Held at customs by a Siamese cat |
📌 The freshest experiments are pinned just below. Poke around, fork freely, open issues generously.
Rumi is a 2-year-old Siamese, my roommate, and the most senior member of the team. 🐈
- 🎖️ Title: Chief Morale Officer & Senior Keyboard Inspector
- 🧪 QA process: walks across the keyboard mid-deploy, just to be sure
- 📦 Freight expertise: has personally inspected every cardboard box that has ever entered the house
- 🗣️ Code review style: loud, opinionated, usually at 4 a.m.
- 💰 Compensation: treats. Non-negotiable.

- 🍝 I debug spaghetti code and spaghetti recipes with equal efficiency.
- 🔌 I studied Electronics & Communication Engineering (B.Tech, University of Lucknow), then switched to software, where the smoke is mostly metaphorical.
- 🍳 Cooking is my favourite non-compiled language: no linter, instant feedback, and the tests are delicious.
- 🐈 Rumi has pushed more stray keystrokes into my code than any coworker ever has.
Every square is a delivery. The snake eats them anyway. 🐍
