Available for freelance projects

Hi, I'm Ashike S — Full-Stack Software Engineer

I build fast, scalable products with Laravel & Next.js.

I design RESTful backends, integrate payments and third-party APIs, and tune performance for products used at scale — across B2C and B2B. Lately I've been building production AI features: RAG pipelines, tool-calling agents and human-in-the-loop approval flows with measured cost and accuracy.

What I do

From the database to the deploy — one engineer, end to end.

I take products from idea to production: backend, frontend, integrations and the infrastructure in between.

Full-stack web apps

Laravel APIs with fast, server-rendered Next.js frontends — built to rank and to scale.

APIs & integrations

Payment gateways like Stripe, third-party APIs, real-time inventory sync and admin panels.

Mobile & desktop

React Native apps and Electron desktop apps with offline mode and automatic sync.

AI features

RAG pipelines, tool-calling agents and approval workflows with cost and accuracy tracking.

Performance & SEO

SSR, query optimisation and Core Web Vitals work that turns into search traffic.

Cloud & DevOps

AWS (EC2, RDS, IAM), Docker and GitHub Actions pipelines for reliable deploys.
