Greetings! I’m Anisuzzaman Babla, a Staff Software Engineer with 11+ years of experience in the software industry. I enjoy building useful products, solving challenging problems, and continuously learning along the way. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology from Jahangirnagar University.
Currently, I work at Digital Payments Limited (Pathao Pay), where I contribute to building and improving digital payment services used by people and businesses across Bangladesh. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in fintech, banking, microfinance, mobile payments, and consumer applications, giving me a broad perspective on building products that are reliable, practical, and meaningful to their users.
Beyond software engineering, I’m an amateur wildlife photographer with a passion for exploring Bangladesh’s natural beauty and biodiversity. I enjoy spending time outdoors, photographing birds and wildlife, and documenting the country's incredible natural heritage.
I believe in staying curious, sharing knowledge, and always looking for opportunities to learn something new—whether it’s through technology, photography, travel, or simply exploring the world around me.
Let’s connect and explore how technology can drive positive change.
