Hey, I'm
Riajul.
I'm a full-stack & Shopify developer based in Dhaka, building web and mobile products for teams and founders worldwide. I care about the gap between code that runs and software that feels good to use — and closing it.
With 1–2 years building production apps on Next.js, the MERN stack, React Native and Shopify, I'm now open to a full-time role and a few freelance projects. I like owning features end to end and shipping things that actually go live.
The stuff that makes the work better.
Long reading sessions, football, gaming with friends, and tinkering with side projects nobody asked for. They're not breaks from building — they're where the curiosity comes from. Most of what I bring to a codebase is just being interested in how things work and refusing to leave them half-done.
4 things that make me me.
I read the docs, then the source
When something breaks, I'd rather understand why than paste a fix. It makes the next bug faster to solve.
My best work happens late
The world goes quiet, notifications stop, and the hard problems finally hold still long enough to solve.
I ship, then refine
Perfect-but-unshipped helps nobody. I get a working version out, then make it better with real feedback.
My GitHub is a graveyard of ideas
Dozens of half-built repos and experiments. Every so often two of them collide and become something real.
I don't ship generic.
Five principles that decide what makes it into the codebase — and what gets refactored out.
Ships Relentlessly
01/5Working software beats perfect plans. I deliver in small, reviewable increments and keep main always deployable.
Performance First
02/5Green Core Web Vitals aren't optional. I budget for speed from the first commit, not as a cleanup task.
Pixel-Faithful
03/5I build exactly what the design says — spacing, states and motion included. Handoff shouldn't lose detail.
Full-Stack Fluent
04/5Comfortable from a MongoDB schema to a CSS transition. I can own a feature end to end without handoffs.
Quietly Obsessed
05/5The empty state, the loading skeleton, the keyboard shortcut nobody asked for — the small things are usually what make a product feel finished. I sweat them.
The full range.
Shopify is where most of my work lands lately, but I build across the stack. Most projects blend two or three.
01Shopify Development+
Custom themes, Liquid, and headless storefronts on Hydrogen. Conversion-focused stores that load fast and convert better.
02Web Apps — Next.js / React+
Full-stack web apps, dashboards and marketing sites built on Next.js and React — SSR, SEO and accessibility included.
03Mobile Apps — React Native+
Cross-platform iOS & Android apps from one React Native codebase — native feel, offline support, app-store ready.
04Full-Stack & APIs — MERN+
Node/Express REST APIs, MongoDB data modelling, auth and third-party integrations — the engine behind the UI.
