About

From freelance developer to founder.

I started in 2011 as a freelance web developer, solving WordPress problems for clients one project at a time.

In 2014 I shipped my first commercial WordPress plugin under the ThemeNcode name. That one product changed how I thought about work. Client projects end. Products keep serving people long after launch.

Today I lead ZeroGround, a digital products studio in Dhaka with a team of 15+ people. We run three brands across WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Astro, Figma and Shopify. My job is product direction, marketing strategy and building the team that makes it all happen.

AI-first

AI runs through everything I do.

I am an AI enthusiast in the practical sense. I do not just follow the tools, I rebuild my work around them. AI agents sit inside how I plan, write, code and run my companies, every single day.

In my day

Research, planning, writing and code all start with an AI agent working beside me.

In the business

Marketing, content, outreach and video production run on AI workflows we build in-house.

In the products

We build MCP servers, automations and AI integrations for our own brands and for clients.

In the team

Shared AI skills and playbooks, so the whole team works to the same standard.

Work with us

You talk to me. My team builds it.

I no longer take freelance projects myself. If you want to work together, the work is delivered by my team at TNCFlow: designers, developers and marketers who ship products every day.

I stay involved where it counts. I take the first call, shape the scope with you, and every project goes through internal QA before it reaches you.

Design and Experience

UI/UX, product strategy, design systems and branding.

Development and AI

Web, mobile apps, custom SaaS and AI automation.

Growth and Marketing

SEO, content marketing, cold outreach and lead engines.

White-label Partnership

White-label production and dedicated teams for agencies.

Beyond work

Full-time dad. The one job I never delegate.

My team can cover almost anything for me, except this. Most of my hours away from work belong to my daughter. She is my toughest client, my favorite meeting and the best reason I know to close the laptop.

Travel

Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and Malaysia most recently.

Cars

A long-running interest that has nothing to do with code.

Tailoring

A good fit matters, in clothing as in products.
