01 / Selected work

A few products I'vehelped bring to life.

I start with the situation, the constraint, and the choice that moved the work forward.

Live ProductProject Lead & Frontend Lead

sktchLABS

A photo-to-printable coloring and sketch-book product with a seven-stage creation flow and real checkout.

Context

sktchLABS turns a personal photo into a printable coloring or sketch book.

Constraint

The seven-stage journey includes a payment step, so unfinished books could not be lost when someone refreshed, left, or returned from checkout.

My role

Project and frontend lead across requirements, architecture, code reviews, and delivery with a 10-person team.

Key decision

I centralized the journey rules and used browser storage designed for larger in-progress books, so people could safely resume work after a refresh or payment redirect.

Verifiable outcome

The product is live in beta with 100+ users. The public site supports photo uploads, previews, checkout, and printable output.

02 / Ways to work together

Two ways I canbe useful.

For hiring teams

Senior frontend work, with hands-on leadership

I can own important frontend work while helping a team make clear decisions and keep delivery moving.

Senior frontend engineering
Technical leadership when a team needs it
Code reviews, planning, and client communication

Talk about a role

For freelance clients

A focused build, or a better version of what you have

I help teams ship React and Next.js products, untangle difficult interfaces, and improve products that already have users.

03 / About

I build the product,then help the teamget it over the line.

Khalid
Hossain

I didn't plan to become a lead. I started by debugging React state and arguing about CSS specificity. Over time, I became the person clients called when a project got difficult and the person teammates asked when a decision needed to be made.

I work with a Dhaka-based agency on client products for international teams. That has taught me that the technical choice and the communication around it usually belong together. A clear plan makes a better build.

I work mostly in React, Next.js, and TypeScript. I enjoy solving the messy parts of a product, then making the next step easier for the people using it and the people building it.

06 / Process

A roadmap that moveslike a build.

Start with the real problem

I learn what needs to change and who it needs to work for.

Make the scope clear

We agree on the important flows, rough edges, and what success looks like.

Plan the work

I break the work into useful milestones and flag risks early.

Build the interface

I turn the design into responsive, accessible screens that hold up in use.

Connect the product

I work through the data, payments, authentication, or integrations the product needs.

Review the details

I test real paths, fix the awkward parts, and make the next step obvious.

Ship and stay involved

I coordinate feedback and releases, then help improve what comes next.

07 / FAQ

Answers for founders,agencies & hiring teams.

What's your current situation?

I’m a frontend developer and project lead at a Dhaka-based agency. I build React and Next.js products, lead delivery for a team of up to 10, and work directly with clients. I’m open to a remote role where I can keep building while helping a team work well together.

How does remote collaboration work for you?

I’m in Dhaka, UTC+6. I overlap with European afternoons and US East Coast mornings, and I’m used to making decisions clearly in writing when a team is not online at the same time. I can adjust hours for the right role or project.

You lead a team. Are you still hands-on?

Yes. I still build the difficult parts of a product and review the work around them. Leadership grew out of client work and team needs, but I want to stay close to the code and keep improving as an engineer.

What kind of role are you looking for?

I’m looking for a senior frontend or technical-lead role on a product people use. For freelance work, I’m a good fit for React or Next.js builds, complex interfaces, and improving an existing product. I’m open to fully remote work with reasonable overlap.

Let's talk.

I'm open to senior frontend and technical-lead roles, as well as focused freelance work. Tell me what you're working through.
