I build the seams
between platforms.

Full Stack Developer in Chittagong, Bangladesh, 4+ years in. I build bidirectional sync engines, Shopify apps, and browser extensions — Laravel on the back, React on the front.

Things I've shipped

Production systems across e-commerce, sync tooling, and browser extensions — most serving real merchants at scale.

FlexSync

2023 — Present

Bidirectional real-time sync between Shopify and Google Sheets.

Software Engineer · WPPOOL

A Shopify public app that lets merchants export products, variants, and inventory into Google Sheets, bulk-edit them in a familiar spreadsheet, and sync changes back to Shopify automatically. Built around a serialized bulk-operation queue and webhook-driven updates so two systems never drift out of step.

  • Solo-built end to end — architecture, backend, frontend, shipping
  • Serves 400+ merchants in production
  • Handles 4M+ requests a month via a serialized queue + MySQL index optimization
  • Cut sync latency 60% with buffered webhook processing
  • Formula sync — spreadsheet price/stock formulas push straight back to Shopify

  • Enabled 30+ product configuration options
  • React theme app extension for dynamic storefront rendering
  • Third-party API integration via Laravel webhooks for automated product imports

the part that matters

Merchants remember the support.

FlexSync serves 400+ merchants — but the feedback I'm proudest of isn't about the feature list. It's about showing up. When a merchant hit an edge case that wasn't even ours to fix, we stayed on it until it was solved. That's the reputation I want the work to carry.

about

Self-taught, build-first

Software Engineer at WPPOOL with 4+ years shipping production systems across e-commerce, sync tooling, and browser extensions. Self-taught from a non-CS background — I learn by building.

My work lives at the seams between platforms: Shopify ↔ Google Sheets, browsers ↔ cloud storage, marketplaces ↔ dropshipping backends. I care about queue architecture, API rate limits, and shaving latency off the hot path.
