About

A developer who sweats the parts users never see.

I'm Jahirul — I build custom WordPress plugins and full-stack MERN applications from Dhaka, Bangladesh.

My story

How I got here

I started building for the web the way a lot of people do — tweaking a WordPress theme that didn't quite do what a client needed. That small itch turned into a decade of writing plugins, then full applications.

These days I split my time between two worlds: custom WordPress and Gutenberg work on one side, and MERN-stack applications on the other. The common thread is that I care about the parts users never see — the query that stays fast, the API that returns the same shape every time, the update that doesn't break someone's site at 2am.

I like problems that need both design sense and engineering. I'd rather ship one well-considered feature than five rushed ones.

How I work

Craft over shortcuts

I write code I'd be comfortable inheriting. Readable, tested, and documented where it matters.

Performance is a feature

Speed isn't an afterthought. I measure, profile, and optimize before calling something done.

Clear communication

No jargon walls. I explain trade-offs plainly so clients can make real decisions.

Ship, then refine

I get something working in front of people early, then improve it with real feedback.
