Shaikh Saad Bin Kader

Software Engineer by passion, human by nature, and grateful to be alive!

I work as a Senior Software Engineer at Plusgrade. Plusgrade brings happiness to travelers while driving ancillary revenue for the global travel industry. We partner with 200+ airline, hospitality, cruise, passenger rail, and financial services companies to create new, meaningful revenue streams through incredible customer experiences. Founded in 2009, we are headquartered in Montreal with offices in Toronto, New York, London, Dubai, Tel Aviv and Singapore.

I used to work as a Senior Software Engineer at Therap Services, a HIPAA compliant, SOC 2® certified, US-based, industry-leading comprehensive electronic documentation system which provides SaaS for the I/DD industry. I led an agile development team specialized in Java EE and JVM-based technologies.

A typical day at work for me involves: construing business models, providing robust, scalable, and maintainable architectural solutions, reviewing produced code by our team to ensure top-tier industry standards, and of course, the very thing software developers live for; writing code! I am responsible for the contribution quality of our team to the business development, side-by-side, ensuring the professional growth for each team member.

I am fortunate to be able to pursue my dream major, B.Sc. In Computer Science and Engineering, from the University of Dhaka. I had an unforgettable experience at CSEDU with a congenial environment, engaging majors, challenging extracurricular activities like collegiate programming contests, and exciting pastimes like indoor/outdoor sports.

I am passionate about “good old” Software Architectures, Design Patterns, Data Structures, Algorithms, and related genres. So, if you have a problem that is a head-scratcher or a solution that is a jaw-dropper, I am all ears!
