FRONTEND ENGINEER // WRITING · TRANSLATION · DESIGN

I am a frontend engineer focused on building robust, high-performance web systems with React, Next.js, and TypeScript. Alongside engineering, I actively pursue literary translation, essay writing, and interface design — exploring each craft with curiosity and care.

Whether architecting complex frontend state, translating books between English and Bengali, or designing clean typography, I value clarity, precision, and simplicity.
