Hi, I'm
Gulrez Alam,
A Software Engineer
Full Stack Engineer building production-ready web platforms, AI systems, and backend infrastructure. From real-time VR training systems at Enord to AI products with Headstarter and client solutions through GainfoByte, I turn ambitious ideas into reliable software used by people at scale.
About
I am a Full Stack Engineer focused on backend-heavy products, AI systems, and high-reliability web platforms. My strongest work sits at the intersection of product ownership and engineering execution: turning ambiguous requirements into APIs, services, data flows, and user-facing systems that hold up in production.
At Enord, I work on backend architecture for a real-time multi-user VR drone training platform, including telemetry streaming, mission planning, instructor dashboards, scoring workflows, and audit-backed command systems. The platform is designed for demanding training environments where reliability, latency, and traceability matter.
I have also shipped AI products across Next.js, FastAPI, LangGraph, vector databases, Redis, PostgreSQL, AWS, and LLM APIs. I care deeply about clean interfaces, measurable performance, secure deployment, and building software that recruiters and engineering teams can inspect beyond surface-level UI polish.
