Nafiz Iqbal

Full-stack developer, based in Dhaka, working everywhere

I’m Nafiz Iqbal. For the last three years I have designed, built, and deployed production web applications end to end: front end in React, Next.js, and TypeScript, back end in Node.js with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis, shipped on Docker and Nginx.

I have worked inside startups and alongside client teams in fast-moving environments, owning features from schema design and API architecture through to responsive interfaces with PageSpeed scores above 95. I care about clean code, honest communication, and products that keep working after launch.
