Hi, my name is

Ruzaik Nazeer

I build smart, reliable software solutions.

I'm a software engineer with 4+ years of experience developing high-impact systems across cloud, web, and mobile platforms. I enjoy creating clean, scalable, and secure applications β€” from real-time dashboards to automated backend workflows. I'm passionate about problem-solving, simplifying complex systems, and exploring new ideas in tech, especially in healthcare and AI.

About Me

Hey, I'm Ruzaik 😊 a software engineer who enjoys building thoughtful, reliable software that solves real-world problems.

With over 4 years of experience, I've worked across industries like healthcare , food service , and e-commerce developing systems that support everything from daily operations to large-scale automation. Whether it's crafting REST APIs in Laravel or Django, building interactive frontends with React , or setting up CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Docker , I love being in the middle of it all solving, improving, and simplifying.

My projects have supported over 200+ franchise locations, reduced deployment times by up to 70%, and helped teams work smarter, not harder. I enjoy DevOps work just as much as clean, maintainable code β€” and thrive in collaborative Agile environments where good ideas (and good conversations) flow freely.

Outside of work, I’m someone who loves traveling ✈️, getting lost in a good movie 🎬, or unwinding with my favorite music playlists 🎢. Whether it’s exploring new cities or discovering hidden film gems, I’m always chasing moments that inspire creativity and joy.

I'm especially excited about the future of tech in areas like healthcare and AI, and I’m always up for building things that make a difference.
