My Journey

The chapters that bound this shelf together

Programming has been an amazing journey for me. It's not just about writing code, but a passion that burns bright in my soul. Each line of code I write is a step towards turning ideas into reality. It's a constant learning process that never ceases to amaze me.

My Journey

The chapters that bound this shelf together

That Magic Moment

When I first saw a computer, it was nothing short of magic for me. The fascination of how a machine could do so many things created an impression that lasted a lifetime. My passion for programming is like a raging fire today and this is when the spark was ignited.

Hello World!!

I wrote my first "Hello World" in python. It was the first time I wrote a program and saw the output. It was a magical moment for me. I was fascinated by the fact that I could write a few lines of code and make the computer do what I wanted it to do. That was the moment I fell in love with programming. This is where my journey of a lifetime began.

Out of the terminal

First time I wrote a program that had a graphical user interface. Well it was more of HTML page with some CSS and JavaScript. But it was a big deal for me. I was amazed by the fact that I could write code and see the output in a browser. It was a big leap for me. I was no longer confined to the terminal. I was out in the open world of the web. To see this visually and play around with css properties was really fun.

Is that programming I 'C' ?

Although I had been writing code for a while, I had never written a program in C. But from the moment I wrote my first program in C, I decided I wanted to learn more about it. It was difficult for sure, But I wanted to not just learn it, but master it. I wanted to know the ins and out. From this point on programming was no longer just a hobby, it was a passion.

Algorithm for Passion

I enrolled in a CSE program in JKKNIU. And here began the true hard core programming journey. I was introduced to the world of algorithms and data structures. Long sleepless nights, countless hours of coding, and hundreds of problems to solve. Problems solving became my passion. I was no longer just writing code to show output, I was writing code to squeeze out every last bit of performance. In this part of my life I learned more debugging, sharpened my logical skills an became part of a community of competitive programmers.

It can Learn !!!

I stepped into the world of machine learning and artificial intelligence. I was fascinated how a computer can learn from data. I started learning about it on kaggle. I analyzed and visualized data, and built machine learning models. It opened up a whole new world for me. Where I could use my programming skills to solve real world problems. I was writing code that could learn, predict and make decisions.

Passion & Profession

At the beginning of the year, I started working as a part-time freelance software engineer focused on machine learning , data analytics and web development projects. I was no longer just writing code for fun, but as a profession. I was writing code that solved real world business and research problems for my clients. I learned to handle clients, manage deadlines, and work in a team. My technical skills grew in leaps and bounds. As I gained hands on experience in working with legacy code, version control, and deployment. Later in the year in late november, I joined the amazing team at 'Incevio' as a full-time Web developer intern.

A year of growth

2024 was a year of deep professional growth. At Incevio I shipped REST APIs, end-to-end features, and automated tests for zCart while sharpening my refactoring skills and code architecture. I deepened my knowledge of cloud computing and system design, and continued growing the Mymensingh programmers community — contributing to open source projects and mentoring young programmers.

Shipping AI Products

Joined Arraytics as a Software Engineer. Worked on timetics.ai, Aisentic (20k+ installs), Eventin, WP Timetics, Booktics, and WPCafe. Built unified AI backend infrastructure cutting AI integration cost by ~35%, improved delivery speed ~2× with harness engineering, and shipped measurable performance wins on Timetics and WPCafe.

The story is still being written

The disciplines

Four working disciplines, each proven on work that ships

Four years, three companies, and every metric in the ledger above came from these hands-on disciplines — web engineering from API to polished UI, AI features engineered to cost less, pipelines that pay for themselves, and ML that survives contact with production.

Web Development

Full-stack products from API to polished UI — WordPress plugins to SaaS.

  • PHP, JavaScript, Python
  • Laravel, React.js, Next.js, Node.js, Express.js, FastAPI
  • WordPress plugin engineering (PHP + React)
  • Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB
  • GitHub Actions, Docker, Bitbucket

Shipped: WP Timetics load −0.45s (~50%) · WPCafe analytics −0.24s (~14%)

AI Engineering

Production AI features — harnesses, agents, and cost-aware systems.

  • Harness engineering for legacy projects (~2× delivery speed)
  • Spec-driven development
  • Small language model fine-tuning and evaluation
  • Cost optimization for agentic features (~35% AI cost reduction)
  • AI features across multi-product WordPress ecosystems

Shipped: Unified AI backend — ~35% lower integration cost · ~2× delivery speed

Data Analytics & Visualization

Pipelines, scrapers, and visuals that turn data into decisions.

  • SQL analytics on Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB
  • Automated web scrapers and data pipelines
  • Data visualization for products and research
  • Multi-threaded pipelines — −34% server cost (Data Sapience)

Shipped: Multi-threaded pipelines — −34% server cost

Machine Learning

Applied ML inside shipped products — race analytics, training plans, and research software.

  • Python ML for training plans and race analytics (Find My Race Pace)
  • Machine learning & data analytics software (Data Sapience Lab)
  • ML-driven features for runners and researchers
  • From model to product — shipped, not just trained

Shipped: ML race analytics — +18% user retention (Find My Race Pace)

And when the terminal is closed: mentoring the Mymensingh programming community, 15+ LightOJ tutorials, and a dev.to blog.
