030 / ABOUT

I own problems,
not just screens.

Seven years in, I design products that are hard to explain: AI tooling, billing engines, trade finance, ticketing platforms. My job is to make them feel obvious.

I get inside the problem early, work in the open with product and engineering, and stay until it ships. Right now that is property tech at AD Group, where I design Development ID and Leasey. Based in Dhaka on GMT+6, working remotely with teams in Australia, the US, and Europe.

HOW I WORK
  • I start with the business outcome, not the screen
  • I share work in small pieces, early and often
  • I leave teams a system, not a folder of one-off files

What I
design.

Web apps

SaaS interfaces, dashboards, and products carrying a lot of data.

Design systems

Systems your engineers can build from, shipped across five products so far.

Mobile apps

iOS, Android, and hybrid apps people actually enjoy opening.

UX research & audits

I find what is costing a product its users, then show the team how to fix it.

Design in code

Hands-on with HTML, CSS, and SCSS, and fast with AI coding tools. My ideas become working prototypes, not just static frames. I designed and built this site myself.
