   Atims

   Jan 2026 — Present

   As a Software Engineer at ATIMS, I work across multiple layers of our versatile Jail Management System (JMS), contributing to client-facing integrations, backend stability, and system enhancements. I design and maintain interfaces between client-side applications, third-party vendors, and ATIMS systems, ensuring reliable data flow and seamless interoperability. My responsibilities also include application and server-side enhancements, addressing bug fixes, and implementing change orders to meet evolving operational and client requirements.In addition to development work, I support the training and onboarding of new employees and am gradually taking on architecture-level tasks, contributing to system design decisions and scalability efforts. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of large-scale, production-grade software systems and cross-team collaboration.I also oversee the management, maintenance, and development of the reports module within JMS. This includes designing and implementing new reports, creating custom client-specific solutions, and ensuring report performance and compatibility across multiple JMS versions. Alongside this, I co-manage a team of 40 report developers, fostering collaboration, maintaining quality standards, and driving timely project delivery.
