About me

Senior engineer & AI practitioner

Building production systems since 2015. Based in Dhaka. Open to remote contracts.

I'm a full-stack engineer specializing in Laravel, PHP, and TypeScript, with a growing focus on AI integration — RAG pipelines, embeddings, and LLM-powered products. I care about correctness, performance, and maintainability: code that ships, stays shipped, and doesn't surprise you at 2 am.

Over the past 9+ years I've led projects for startups and agencies, shipped open-source tools, and mentored engineers. I write here to clarify my own thinking and help others skip mistakes I've already made.

Recommendations

Al Amin is one of the most methodical engineers I've worked with. His approach to code quality, API design, and mentoring other developers is exceptional. He shipped the Dokan REST API v2 largely solo and it's still the backbone of the product.

CTO

WeDevs

I collaborated with Al Amin on a large WooCommerce integration project. His deep knowledge of WooCommerce internals and his ability to navigate complex plugin architecture saved us weeks of work. Highly recommended for any serious PHP or WordPress project.
