Coding . Watching stories . Chasing adventures
I’m a software engineer passionate about frontend development, currently working in Tokyo🗼 and originally from Bangladesh. I craft dynamic and scalable frontend applications using TypeScript, React, Next.js, Angular, and RxJS, blending modern frameworks and reactive programming to deliver smooth user experiences.
Alongside frontend, I have strong backend experience working with Node.js, PHP, SQL, NoSQL databases, as well as caching technologies like Redis.
Currently, I’m building innovative digital solutions at Money Forward, Inc., collaborating with financial partners to deliver seamless user experiences.
Outside of work, I’m passionate about movies and series — especially sci-fi and sitcoms — and love traveling. I’ve explored 8 countries so far and enjoy chasing new adventures.
Welcome to my corner of the web. Feel free to explore my projects, blog, or connect anytime.
Nov 2023 — Present Software Engineer III
Tokyo, Japan
Since November 2023, I’ve been driving frontend development using TypeScript, React, Next.js, and AWS to build scalable, high-performance web applications. A major highlight has been migrating the Business Fund Management (BFM) system from a monolithic Ruby on Rails architecture to a modern stack with Next.js on the frontend and Kotlin on the backend, greatly enhancing maintainability and scalability. I maintain and evolve the Mikatano design system, ensuring UI consistency and reusable components across multiple financial products. Beyond coding, I conduct regular code reviews to maintain high code quality and mentor team members, while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams and external financial partners to deliver seamless user experiences that handle over 8 million requests per month.
