AI-First Senior Product Engineer · Dhaka · Remote

I build and ship software products, from the first idea to production.

I build mobile and web apps, backend services and AI-powered features. With 9 years in software engineering, I work across Kotlin, Flutter, Python, FastAPI and applied AI to take products from architecture to deployment.

Apps

Kotlin Multiplatform · Compose · SwiftUI · SQLDelight · ML Kit · Apple Vision · FastAPI · Google Cloud Run · Gemini

TaqLens

An offline-first camera translation and language-learning app, live on Google Play. It reads text from signs, menus and documents, translates it, speaks it, and helps users build vocabulary. OCR and translation run on the device (ML Kit on Android, Apple Vision and Translation on iOS). Opt-in cloud features run through my own FastAPI service on Cloud Run calling Gemini, with separate user consent, rate limits and no stored text. Shared Kotlin Multiplatform logic and database with native Compose and SwiftUI interfaces.

Flutter · Dart · Firebase · ML Kit · RevenueCat

Savecount

A Flutter renewal and expiry tracker for subscriptions, trials, returns and warranties, with reminders and shared households. Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase through RevenueCat. The warranty-card scanner runs fully on the device (ML Kit document scanner and text recognition plus a rule-based parser that marks low-confidence fields), costs nothing per scan, and deletes photos after reading.

Kotlin Multiplatform · React · Python · FastAPI · PostgreSQL · Cloud Run · Google Play Billing · RevenueCat

Vexylt

A link-in-bio product with page blocks, QR sharing and analytics, with a Free and Pro tier through Google Play Billing and RevenueCat. Android app in Kotlin Multiplatform plus a React web app. I built its backend in Python with FastAPI and PostgreSQL on Cloud Run (REST APIs, authentication, analytics, a payment webhook, about 580 tests and CI), with a remote-config switch to move the clients from Firebase to the API.

Flutter · Dart · Firebase

Ignyr

A Flutter habit and streak tracker built around the streak: recurring schedules, reminders, statistics and a leaderboard, with Firebase sign-in and sync across devices, and a free and premium tier.

Flutter · Public API

Dogshow

A dog-breed explorer built on the open-source Dog CEO API, with breed and sub-breed browsing, photo galleries, search, a daily Dog of the Day and a full-screen photo viewer.

Web

React · Vite

SmartJSONViewer

A browser tool to format, explore and share JSON, with syntax highlighting and a tree view.

Where the hard part wasn't the UI.

Selected work
Truely · Travel eSIM · Software Engineer (Mobile Team Lead)

A Flutter rebuild designed to keep shipping.

I led the rebuild of Truely's app in Flutter on Clean Architecture and Bloc, with native Android modules where Flutter couldn't reach the platform. I set up CI/CD with Fastlane and Codemagic, ran both store releases, and added Stripe payments, a new onboarding flow and localization.

A missed reading matters.

The native BLE layer for InBody medical devices had to survive intermittent connections, not just pair once — alongside Google Fit for real-time biometric data and body-movement detection with ML Kit and MediaPipe.

10,000+ attendees. Zero downtime.

Ticket authentication for a live concert, co-built as a collaborative side project, with an offline fallback when the network gave out.

Open source · Reference codebases

Offline-first, three ways.

The same offline-first app built in Kotlin Multiplatform (SQLDelight, Ktor, StateFlow), Android (MVVM/Clean, Room, Retrofit, Hilt, WorkManager) and Flutter (Clean Architecture).

Beyond the app

Vexylt backend

Python, FastAPI and PostgreSQL

REST APIs, authentication, analytics, a payment webhook, about 580 tests and CI on Cloud Run, with a remote-config switch to move the clients from Firebase to the API.

Savecount on-device scan

ML Kit warranty-card scanner

Runs fully on the device: ML Kit document scanner and text recognition plus a rule-based parser that marks low-confidence fields. Costs nothing per scan and deletes photos after reading.

Nine years, one thread.

About

Android first. Still shipping.

I am an AI-first product engineer focused on building and shipping complete software products.

My background spans Android, Kotlin Multiplatform and Flutter, with 9 years of experience delivering applications across travel, healthcare, fintech and consumer technology. I led mobile at Truely, where downloads grew from about 4,500 to 150,000+, and I have managed and hired mobile engineers.

Over the last six months I have independently built and shipped products across mobile, web and backend, expanding into Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL and applied AI. I use AI coding agents daily; I own the scope, architecture, testing and release decisions.

I work across the whole product lifecycle: understanding the problem, making architecture decisions, building the app, adding backend and AI features, and getting the product into production. My approach to AI is on-device first, cloud only when it earns its place, with consent, rate limits and a cost ceiling on every cloud feature.

“Not only did he contribute with his super coding skills, but he also weighed in whenever there's an important business decision to be made.”
