Building quiet
software with loud
intentions.
I’m Aminur — a builder, tinkerer, and a reluctant philosopher who writes code like it’s a letter. Sometimes I ship things. Sometimes I just brew chai and think.

This is a slow page. A non-linear one. Wander between four rooms — pick up what you want, leave the rest. There’s no correct door.
A winding road,
paved in footnotes.
The résumé version is boring. Here’s the version with the margins still in it — the detours, the re-reads, the places I got lost on purpose.
- 2011— origin
A borrowed laptop, a dial-up line
First line of code was a
- 2015— detour
The detour through physics
I tried to study the universe and ended up modeling it in Python. The professors called it cheating. I called it a portal.
- 2018— shipping
First real users, first real bugs
Shipped a small tool for a small shop in Dhaka. Eleven humans used it on a Tuesday. I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.
- 2021— async
Remote, asynchronous, alive
Started working across time zones. Learned that silence is a kind of collaboration too, if you trust the people inside it.
- 2024— now
Local-first, slow-web, hand-rolled
Got tired of cloud-shaped problems. Started writing software that belongs to the person holding the device. Felt like coming home.
Things I made,
on purpose.
Click a row. Some rooms have furniture inside.
A year in commits.
Pulled live from GitHub. Most real work lives in private repos, but the rhythm is honest.
Orgs I’m with.
Three homes on GitHub, three kinds of work. Some open, some deliberately quiet.
01A production app on Next.js 16 + Supabase — a live rewrite of assumptions about the modern stack.
02Fleet management and analytics — Samsara telemetry, fuel analytics, nightly automations.
03AI-native hiring platform — ATS, job board, and asynchronous interviews in one loop.
04A multi-tenant commerce platform — merchant settings, feature flags, and B2B/B2C parity under one roof.
How to make
my chai.
Included because a portfolio without a recipe is a résumé in a trench coat.
- Water1 cup · cold · tap, unbothered
- Milk½ cup whole milk
- Tea2 tsp loose Assam
- Spice3 cardamom · 1 sliver ginger · cinnamon
- Sugar1½ tsp · adjust downward, never up
- 00:00Step 01Cold water
One cup. Room temperature. Heat on medium.
- 01:30Step 02Aromatics
Crush three green cardamom pods, a thin slice of ginger, one small cinnamon shard.
- 03:00Step 03Tea
Two teaspoons of loose black tea — Assam, strong, honest.
- 05:00Step 04Milk
Half a cup of whole milk. Do not apologize for it.
- 07:30Step 05The lift
Raise the pan just as it rises to the rim. Lower it. Do this three times. This is the ceremony.
- 08:30Step 06Sweeten
Sugar to taste. I take mine at 1.5 teaspoons — about as sweet as a small mercy.
- 09:00Step 07Strain
Pour through a fine sieve into a small steel cup. Hold it with both hands.
