Raju Ahmed Profile

I’m a Software Engineer with 5+ years of industry experience, during which I’ve developed a strong appreciation for building simple, scalable solutions over unnecessary complexity. My experience in designing and delivering web applications has led to a growing interest in AI Engineering, and I am now transitioning my focus toward building intelligent, user-centric AI systems and agents.

2025 → Present

Software Dev → Agentic AI

Current Focus

Building intelligent applications, RAG workflows, and autonomous AI agents.

BACKEND / DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS

Distributed API Lab

A production-oriented distributed API platform designed to demonstrate horizontal scaling, load balancing, shared rate limiting, caching, database persistence, observability, and cloud deployment.

Horizontal Scaling Multiple Express API instances behind Nginx load balancing
Distributed Rate Limiting Redis-backed global request limiting shared across instances
Performance & Observability Prometheus metrics, request latency tracking and load testing
Data & Caching PostgreSQL persistence with Redis response caching
Load Balanced API Multiple Express instances distributed through Nginx locally

CURRENT FOCUS

From Software Engineering to Intelligent Agents.

I'm currently exploring the world of Agentic AI — building systems that can reason, retrieve information, use tools, maintain context, and take meaningful actions rather than simply responding to a prompt.

My current work revolves around RAG, LangGraph, LangChain, LLMs, and AI-powered applications, with a focus on turning these technologies into practical solutions that people can actually use.
