Tl;dr (Too long; didn’t read)
I’m an Independent Design Engineer with 11+ years of experience, focused on design and design implementation. I help create functional, user-centered, simple (yet better) digital products that look visually good.
Experienced in working with the private and public sectors, designed digital projects for e-commerce, food chains, fantasy sports, public education, consultancies, startups, communities, and tech agencies.
Also, I work on the front-end of the front-end. In this way, my work lies at the intersection of design and back-end. All of my dev work is, by default:
- Optimized for mobile. I take a mobile-first approach to building front-ends.
- Fully responsive, and tested across various devices and browsers.
- Cross-browser compatible. If you need someone to create the exact same experience in all browsers, you’re probably better working with me.
- Vanilla.
- Optimized for performance. The product experience needs to feel lightweight and fast.
In more technical terms, I:
- write semantic HTML, with a focus on accessibility.
- write CSS with dart sass that manages the visual aspects, fluid typography, colors, responsive behavior, and anything in between.
- write presentational JavaScript that controls the interactive behavior of the UI components.
- test across various devices and browsers, and optimize for performance.
I’ve worked with clients in various sectors and markets, but my favorite clients are those working in the following sectors that I am personally passionate about:
-
E-commerce. I have five years of experience working in the e-commerce sector in Bangladesh.
-
Fantasy Sports. Exploring the US fantasy sports landscape and diving into React Native development.
-
Food & Restaurant.
-
Public Education.
-
Nature & Wildlife. ❤️
-
Travel & Tourism.
-
Photography & Magazines. If I weren’t a designer, I’d probably be a nomadic wildlife photographer.
-
Open Source. I love open source projects.
-
Community & Meetup.
