I'm a React, Next.js and TypeScript developer in Dhaka who builds production web applications and leads a 10-person engineering team. My work spans frontend architecture, MERN stack development, client communication, code reviews and delivery for international products. I'm looking for a remote senior frontend or full-stack role where the engineering bar is high.

Portrait of Khalid Hossain

I didn't set out to be a lead. Four years ago I was arguing about CSS specificity and debugging React state. Somewhere along the way I became the person clients called when something went sideways — and the person the team came to when they weren't sure what to build next.

I work at a Dhaka-based agency that sources work through Fiverr and Upwork, which means I've shipped under real commercial pressure for clients across timezones I've never visited. The technical decision and the communication decision are usually the same decision. I've learned to make both.

My stack is React, Next.js, TypeScript and MERN. I think in components and I ship in production. I'm looking for a remote engineering role at a company that cares about what it builds — not just how fast it ships.

Products I led,from complexity to launch.

Three products, three different hard problems: resilient AI workflows, a stateful paid creation flow, and interactive exports that work beyond the app.

The problem

sktchLABS turns personal photos into a digital PDF, a physical printed book, or both. The hard part was not a single screen: the build spans free generation, setup, cover, dedication, pages, review and success, with a Stripe round-trip in the middle. Users needed to be able to leave halfway through and return to a complete, valid in-progress book.

What I owned

I led the frontend architecture and personally built the book-creation engine. A single resolver governs navigation, so users cannot reach review without a title, pages without a cover, or payment-dependent steps without the required state. The rules live in one place instead of being scattered across individual screens.

The in-progress book contains generated images and page data, which outgrows localStorage. I wrote a custom IndexedDB persistence adapter so work survives refreshes and closed tabs without freezing the UI. A pending intent also carries through Stripe checkout, returning the user to the correct step after a new book, page add-on, or package upgrade.

I also built the live preview, a view-only PDF reader that protects the download path until approval, and the customer-facing states around the admin approval and automatic refund flow. TanStack Query owns API state; Zustand owns the local book; typed contracts and Zod validation keep those boundaries explicit.

The outcome

sktchLABS is live in beta with 100+ usersand a public launch coming soon. It handles real photo uploads, AI-generated previews, Stripe payments, admin approval, and printable output while preserving a user's in-progress work across browser sessions and payment redirects.

Second Sight

An AI strategic-foresight workshop that chains six long-running model stages. I led the reliability layer: schema-tolerant parsing, typed recovery for wrong-stage and timeout failures, and durable workshop state so a refresh never destroys a paid analysis. The client moved from market validation to full-scale development.

A personalized children’s storybook platform in beta with real users. I led the frontend and built a custom EPUB 3 export engine that carries a read-along runtime with the book, keeping word highlighting and narration available beyond the app.

08 / FAQ

Answers for founders,agencies & hiring teams.

I'm a Frontend Developer at a Bangladesh-based agency working with international clients via Fiverr and Upwork. I write most of the frontend code and I lead the team — 10 people — across requirements, architecture, reviews and delivery. I'm actively looking for a remote role where the product matters and engineering is taken seriously.

I'm UTC+6 (Bangladesh Standard Time). That means I overlap with European business hours in the afternoon, and US East Coast mornings for about 3–4 hours. I'm used to async-first workflows and I'm open to adjusted hours for the right role. Remote has been my default for years — I know how to make it work.

Yes — this is actually something I'm intentional about. I review every significant PR, I set the architecture, and I write code on features that matter. The leadership came out of necessity, not preference over engineering. If anything, I want to be in an environment where I can go deeper technically while the team structure is already built for it — not being pulled thinner.

Senior Frontend or Full-Stack Engineer, ideally on a product that real people use. React and Next.js is my sweet spot. I'm also genuinely interested in roles that want someone who can lead — Tech Lead, Engineering Lead — where that's an actual part of the job description, not just what happens when no one else steps up. Fully remote, open to any timezone with reasonable overlap.

Let's talk.

I'm looking for a remote senior frontend or full-stack role. If you're building something real and need someone who ships and leads, let's talk.
