About Me

Engineer · Designer · Builder · Occasional Open Source Contributor

Hello! I'm Saif — a software engineer based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I enjoy creating things that live on the internet, whether that be websites, applications, or anything in between. My goal is to always build products that provide pixel-perfect, performant experiences.

I'm currently a Lead Engineer at Rocket Solutions Limited, where I focus on building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences. I also enjoy contributing to open-source projects and writing about the things I learn.

When I'm not at the computer, I'm usually playing football, reading, or exploring new coffee shops around Dhaka. I'm always down to talk about new ideas, collaborations, or just about anything web-related — feel free to reach out.
