Hey, I'm Adnan 👋

Senior Software Engineer

Backend and product engineer at Odoo R&D

About

Software engineer with a builder's background.

I design and build backend systems, product workflows, and developer tools. I like understanding how systems fit together, from business rules and data models to the small tools that make daily engineering faster.

Currently, I work at Odoo R&D in Dubai, contributing to ERP systems, product workflows, and production business logic in Odoo's public codebase.

Before Odoo, I worked across freight, logistics, medical auditing, and education technology. My path also includes founding BRACU Duburi, an autonomous underwater robotics team, and creating long-form technical tutorials for Bangla-speaking developers.

Outside work, I'm usually reading, fishing, hiking, or chasing small adventures away from the screen.

Three Months Inside a Satellite Ground Station

Three months around BRAC University’s BRAC Onnesha satellite ground station, learning RF, helping where I could, and sleeping in the lab.

One Last Local Competition

How our BRAC University robotics teams built two line followers, returned to DUET, and finally won the local competition we had avoided.

The Fear of Losing

How failures at robotics competitions in MIST and North South University made me fear losing in public, until my students pushed me back.
