Building software that scales to millions of users.
Programmer, author, and speaker. I lead the engineering behind production systems that serve millions, and I write about what it actually takes to keep them running.
I grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and now live in a suburb of Vancouver, British Columbia, where I work as an Engineering Tech Lead. Most of my days are spent on systems that have to stay up for millions of people: architecture, performance, and the unglamorous work that happens after deploy.
I write and speak about that work: what it actually takes to keep Laravel systems running once they leave a laptop.
Outside of work I cook and publish the recipes here, and I have developed a late interest in cars. I am the parent of a son and two daughters. I wear my Bangladeshi identity with pride.
Two books on Laravel, written a decade apart, for two very different readers.
