Nidal Siddique Oritro

Software Engineer / Manager

Software Engineer turned into Engineering Manager, helping teams to build better software and solve complex problems. I am passionate about building high-performing teams and creating a culture of continuous improvement.

Who Am i?

I started writing code as a profession early 2013 and i never stopped. My 13+ years of industry experience is helping me bring structure and value to my team. My 2025 goal is to build digital automation that helps team work more effortlessly.

This is my personal blog, portfolio, whatever floats your boat. I write about software engineering, homelab, self hosting, my journey into becoming a manager, my experience in helping teams build a better software and my experience in building high-performing teams.

I am a novice 3d model desiger, love 3d printing, creating complex homelab server ( that i probably don't need), working with LLM and AI models.
