Open to software engineering roles

Hi, I'm Arkanullah.
I build software end to end.

Final-year Computer Science student in Dhaka. I built BhaloPhone, an AI phone recommendation platform that's live and answering real buying questions across Bangladesh, plus three other shipped apps across MERN, Flutter and Laravel.

Founder & Full-Stack Developer

Buying a phone in Bangladesh means opening eight retailer tabs and trusting whichever one lies least. BhaloPhone scrapes all of them nightly, then answers a plain question — "best camera under 30k" — with ranked picks and an explanation tied to real, current listings.

  • Built a RAG pipeline over embeddings and structured evidence cards, so every recommendation is ranked from database rows the model cannot invent.
  • Wrote an inference layer across 13 LLM providers with circuit breakers, key failover and rotation, keeping the thing up on free-tier infrastructure.
  • Automated scraping, nightly sync, review enrichment and SEO page generation in GitHub Actions — 250+ pages with structured data and AI crawler support.
  • Shipped an internal admin dashboard that triggers crawls, enrichment and deploys from the browser, replacing the pile of scripts I was running by hand.
  • Compressed evidence cards and retuned retrieval to fit strict payload limits, which cut latency and stopped the request failures.

MERN · Solo

NextEd

A course platform I built on my own.

Students, teachers and admins each get their own dashboard. Teachers create courses and schedule live classes, students enroll and learn.

  • Built the whole thing solo: database, API, and frontend.
  • Wrote the Express + MongoDB backend from an empty folder.
  • Handled auth and three different role-based views in React.

eCrunchies

A food delivery app for phones.

Find restaurants, chat with them in real time, fill a cart, get push notifications, and track an order. Restaurants get a simple dashboard too.

  • One Flutter codebase running on both Android and iOS.
  • Used Firebase for auth, Firestore for data, and FCM for push.
  • Designed how an order moves from cart to delivered.

BookNest

A book marketplace with reviews.

Browse books, get recommendations, read what other people thought, and check out. A Laravel API behind a React frontend.

  • Laravel API covering auth, cart, orders and reviews.
  • React + TypeScript frontend with Tailwind.
  • Designed the MySQL schema for books, reviews and orders.

Why hire me

What you'd actually get.

I'm still a student, but I've shipped real apps from start to finish. Here's what that looks like in practice.

I can build the whole thing

BhaloPhone is scrapers, a RAG pipeline, a React frontend and the CI/CD under it, all mine. I can take a feature from a rough idea to something deployed without handing it off halfway.

I teach myself fast

Flutter, Laravel, TypeScript and the whole RAG and LLM-orchestration side of BhaloPhone were self-taught, because I needed them to finish something. A new tool isn't going to scare me off.

I design for things going wrong

Free-tier infrastructure fails constantly. Circuit breakers, provider rotation and key failover weren't resume padding, they were the only way to keep BhaloPhone answering.

I'm easy to work with

Small commits, clear PRs, and I'm fine saying "I don't know yet, give me a bit to figure it out" instead of bluffing.

About

A bit about me.

I'm in my final year of Computer Science at Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology. I got into code because I kept wanting apps that didn't exist yet, so I started building them. That habit never really wore off.

BhaloPhone is the clearest example. Buying a phone here means opening eight retailer tabs and guessing, so I built the thing that reads all eight for you: scrapers, a RAG pipeline over real listings, an inference layer that survives free-tier rate limits, and the deploy pipeline underneath it. Founder, backend, frontend and ops, because there was nobody else.

Before that: NextEd, eCrunchies and BookNest, across MERN, Flutter with Firebase, and Laravel. All went from an empty repo to something that works, either solo or with a classmate or two.

I also edit educational videos for Ascend IELTS. Sounds unrelated to code, but it taught me a lot about pacing and the small details that make something feel finished instead of rushed.

Right now I'm looking for my first real software job. I'm not going to pretend I know everything. What I can promise is that I pick things up fast, I ask good questions, and I finish what I start.
