Software Developer

I build Shopify apps and WordPress plugins, from the first commit to the App Store.

Résumé

About

I've been building for the web for twelve years, starting as a freelancer in Dhaka in 2014. These days I'm a full-stack developer who likes owning a product end to end: the data model, the API, the UI and the release.

Currently I'm a web developer at Barn2 (opens in a new tab), where I built the company's first Shopify app and lead development of every Shopify app since. I'm also the founder of Icona (opens in a new tab), where I've built four Shopify apps on my own, from zero to the App Store.

Most of my work is in Laravel, React, TypeScript, Remix and React Router, Prisma, Postgres and Shopify Functions. Away from the keyboard I'm usually with my family or out finding the best street food in Dhaka.
