I build products used by tens of thousands of businesses — state and data-fetching architecture, accessible UI and Core Web Vitals performance in React and Next.js. I also ship my own products, with AI agents and structured agentic workflows.

Experience
Eight years of shipped interfaces.
Product frontends at three companies, from hand-coded marketplace templates to React and TypeScript application work.
- Run a founder-led product studio building focused, privacy-first tools
- Research, design, build and ship ten browser extensions, web products and WordPress plugins end to end
- Own pricing, licensing, launch and support for every product
HexaDash — Flagship Product · React.js, Next.js & TypeScript Editions
Built SovWare’s flagship multipurpose admin dashboard template, sold on ThemeForest — the charts and data UI in particular, alongside the component library, data tables, forms, routing and theming.
React.js · Next.js · TypeScript · Redux · SCSS · Charts & Data UI · Component Library
Directorist — Frontend Ownership
Owned the frontend of a directory platform with 20k+ active installs — listing search and filtering, maps, booking, reviews and checkout flows, kept responsive and fast as the feature set grew.
JavaScript · jQuery · Vue.js · SCSS · REST APIs
FormGent — Frontend Development
Completed the summary and analytics frontend — graphs rendered from backend data over the REST API — alongside multi-step form state and data fetching.
React.js · Redux · REST APIs · Charts & Data UI
HelpGent — Frontend Development
Built live chat and conversational interfaces, alongside video messaging and screen-recording UI, using TypeScript, React.js and TanStack Query (React Query).
TypeScript · React.js · TanStack Query
Templatiq & other SovWare products — JavaScript, React.js, SCSS
- Reviewed frontend pull requests and validated features through testing and cross-browser QA before release
- Hand-coded 30+ responsive HTML and React.js templates for Envato and other marketplaces
- Built cross-browser UI in HTML, CSS and SCSS

Products I built and shipped.
Next.js web products, browser extensions and open source — researched, built and shipped end to end.
Web Products
Next.js & WordPress · Built end to end
Next.js · React.js · TypeScript · WordPress · Tailwind CSS · Socket.IO · Vitest · Playwright
The public web client for CricoScore, a cricket scoring platform with a live Android app — live match pages with ball-by-ball commentary, tournaments, team and player profiles and a signed-in fan layer, reading from the same API as the app.
- Frontend
- Next.js App Router, server-rendered for search · light and dark design tokens · usable from 320px
- Real-time
- Socket.IO live scores with a polling fallback that pauses in hidden tabs · list-page traffic cut by 78%
- Performance
- Core Web Vitals on a mid-range phone over slow 4G: LCP 0.9–1.8s · CLS 0.400 → 0.001
- Quality
- axe-core accessibility gate on 22 pages · Playwright user journeys · Vitest unit and component tests
A production-grade auction front end — a public saleroom with live proxy bidding, a bidder account area and a full admin dashboard. It runs on a built-in demo API; pointing it at a real backend is one setting. No backend ships with it, by design.
- Frontend
- Next.js 15 App Router · React 19 Server Components · TypeScript strict · Tailwind CSS v4
- Bidding
- Proxy bidding · anti-snipe soft close · secret reserves · idempotent bids · server-synced countdown
- API contract
- Zod runtime checks on every response · a documented REST API any backend can implement
- Quality
- Vitest and Playwright · GitHub Actions CI · a bundle budget and secret scan that fail the build
WaaFaa Toolkit — Private Web Tools
89 PDF, image, text and developer tools that never upload a file
A WordPress plugin that turns waafaa.com into 89 free web tools, each running entirely in the visitor’s browser — with processing engines reused from four of my shipped extensions.
- Frontend
- TypeScript · Vite-built ES modules · Web Workers for heavy processing · four shared engines
- Privacy
- Nothing is uploaded — the build fails if a network API appears in a tool bundle
- WordPress
- PHP 8.1 thin host · one block · four REST routes · Freemius licensing
- Quality
- Fifteen release gates, each with a test that proves it fails · Vitest · Playwright

Agent skills · Python · GitHub Actions · HTML · CSS · JavaScript
An open-source research framework that runs before the code: one product idea goes through fourteen gated modules and comes out as a build-ready specification — or a documented reason not to build. I designed the gate model and evidence rules, wrote the validators, and built the landing page.

- A Claude Code plugin and a Gemini CLI extension, from one repository

AI & Agentic Engineering
Engineering with agents in the loop.
AI agents are part of how I research, plan, build and iterate — directed, structured and reviewed. The engineering judgement stays with me.
Engineering
Agentic workflows · agent orchestration · subagents · reusable AI skills · MCP · prompt engineering · task decomposition · reviewing agent output
Product
AI-powered product research · product analysis & planning · AI-assisted prototyping · AI workflow design
Integration
LLM APIs in shipped products (Briefly, AI Chat Vault) · OpenAI · Anthropic · Gemini · Mistral · DeepSeek · Groq · OpenRouter
Tooling
Claude Code · OpenAI Codex · Cursor
I use different agent environments depending on the task — with the same structured approach to context, decomposition, delegation and review. Agents do not ship anything on their own — I decompose the work, give them context, run subagents for specialised passes, and review every implementation.
About
A software engineer who ships.
I'm a software engineer based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I build data-driven product frontends in React.js, Next.js and TypeScript — state with Redux and Zustand, server data with TanStack Query (React Query), styling with Tailwind CSS. What I care about is the part after the feature works: how it holds up as the product grows, on a slow connection, on a keyboard, in a browser I didn't design for.
I also build my own products as the solo founder of WaaFaa. Owning a product end to end — research, pricing, launch and support — is the fastest way I've found to get better at building someone else's.
