Philosophy

Building products that hold up in production

I started freelancing in 2009 and later co founded Dwetech. From 2009 to 2016, we delivered more than 60 projects for clients in the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia.

In January 2017, I joined Chaldal (YC S15, about 2,200 staff) when the company had only a minimal desktop site and no production mobile web or native shopper apps. I built the mobile web from zero, rebuilt the desktop experience, and shipped Android and iOS shopper apps as primary engineer.

Real engineering shows up in reliability, especially under unstable networks and operational pressure.

I build and own products end to end, from first release to long term production support. Since 2017 at Chaldal, I have worked across mobile web, native shopper apps, Chalao ride sharing, Chalao Driver logistics, and Protocol.

03 / REGULATORY

Chalao (ride-sharing)

Consumer ride-hailing app licensed under Chaldal. I built the application and owned the regulatory path: BRTA meetings, documentation, and enlistment so we could operate in that category.

Chaldal was listed among operators receiving BRTA enlistment certificates in The Daily Star (Dec 2019). The ride sharing line did not continue.
