I build and run travel technology: booking platforms, supplier integrations and the production systems that keep them online.

Chapter 01 •Morning •2017 – 2022
It started in a classroom in Chattogram.
I studied Computer Science and Engineering at Port City International University from 2017 to 2021. Straight after, I spent three months in a national skills programme learning PHP and Laravel, and built an online shop and a learning platform from scratch.
I have kept building on my own ever since.

Chapter 02 •Midday •2023 – 2025
Then I learned to ship.
In January 2023 I started as a junior Laravel developer at Pigeon Soft. A month later I joined NZitech to build and test APIs for a B2B travel product, and the work grew from there: flights, hotels, eSIM, attractions, buses, trains and payments.
This is where I have worked.

From writing the code to owning production.
Today I lead a team on an online travel agency platform that handles more than 40,000 flight tickets a month. I work across all of it: architecture, code, database, servers, deployments and the suppliers on the other end of the API.
This is the work I do every day.
