About

I'm a language-agnostic engineer with experience across the stack. My journey began with frontend development, and I'm now deep in the world of backend systems. I primarily work with JavaScript, while staying sharp in Python and actively learning DevOps. I choose stacks by fit — not by familiarity — and care more about correctness, observability, and shipping than about the next shiny thing.

I'm a competitive builder: multiple National Hackathon Championships across Bangladesh (UAP Innovatex, NSU Tech Fest, DevFest AI) and a track record of shipping under pressure. I thrive in 24–48 hour windows where the deadline forces real architectural decisions instead of polish.

Beyond code, I've led teams of up to 7 engineers, coached 100+ students, and organized hackathons and CSE fests at university scale. I believe software is a team sport — clarity, mentorship, and shipping beats lone-wolf heroics every time.

I build systems that handle real load, store real money, and survive real outages — and I write them so the next engineer can read them.

Selected Work

Multi-tenant SaaS Platform

Turborepo + Bun monorepo orchestrating 6 applications and 7 services for multi-tenant ecommerce

  • Architected a Turborepo + Bun monorepo with 6 applications; designed a two-system platform separating SaaS Control Plane (tenant lifecycle, auth, billing) from Ecommerce Runtime (multi-tenant storefront).
  • Built automated store provisioning pipeline with env config generation, Caddy reverse-proxy management, SSL via ACME/Let's Encrypt, and health checks with real-time status tracking through deployment states.
  • Implemented a shared-container Next.js storefront serving all merchants via hostname-based tenant resolution with product catalog, checkout, customer auth, order tracking, and theme customization.
  • Integrated payment gateway (idempotent checkout), WhatsApp marketing (Baileys with per-store session isolation), and voice marketing (IVR).
  • Built modular REST API (Hono + Bun, DDD) with 35 feature modules; authored 3 production Dockerfiles and Docker Compose orchestrating 7 services with health checks and persistence.
  • Managed production deployment via PM2 and GitHub Actions CI/CD.

Offline-First Restaurant POS System

Production-grade POS with zero data loss during network outages and exactly-once order sync

  • Architected and developed a production-grade offline-first Point-of-Sale application enabling uninterrupted cashier operations during network outages with zero data loss via IndexedDB local persistence.
  • Engineered a dual-database sync pipeline using Dexie.js (client-side write-ahead log) and PostgreSQL (canonical store), with BullMQ + Redis background worker ensuring exactly-once order processing via idempotency-key deduplication (24h TTL + DB constraints).
  • Integrated Web Bluetooth API for direct ESC/POS thermal receipt printer communication with automatic GATT discovery and Unicode-to-raster conversion using Canvas 2D API with Floyd-Steinberg dithering for non-Latin scripts (Bengali, Arabic, CJK).
  • Implemented PIN-based RBAC authentication (4 roles) with Redis-backed server sessions and 12-hour offline cache; designed a Zustand cart engine with per-line/order discounts, variants, modifiers, and category-level taxes.
  • Built admin dashboard with menu/staff CRUD, table management, analytics via Recharts, dynamic CSS theming, and keyboard-driven command palette; deployed via Docker Compose + PM2 with separate web/worker processes.
