I worked with Toukir on the development of our website for Stonebridge Legal Solutions, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. He took the time to understand exactly what our firm needed, translated that into a clean, professional platform, and delivered on time without compromising on quality. His communication throughout the project was clear and responsive — he explained technical decisions in a way that was easy for us to follow, and made adjustments quickly when we asked for changes. I'd happily recommend Toukir to any business looking for a developer who combines strong technical skill with genuine understanding of what a client actually needs.

09Who I am

About me

Full-Stack Software Engineer & Technical Lead · Huddersfield, UK

I'm a full-stack software engineer based in Huddersfield. I started in web in January 2020 in Bangladesh, and spent nearly three years building Laravel and PHP systems at Software Mela.

I then did an MSc in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Essex and finished with a Merit.

Today I'm the lead developer at SETS Tech, a UK software company I work with on contract. I design the architecture, build the core of each system and lead a small team of developers and freelancers. I took StaffDock and RightUni from spec to live.

My main stack is TypeScript, NestJS, Next.js and PostgreSQL, with Laravel and PHP behind it.
