about

Ifaz Alam Chowdhury// portrait.jpg

I build interfaces first — Next.js, React and TypeScript sites and apps that load fast, feel deliberate, and hold up on a real phone on a real job site, not just a designer's monitor.

I'm an AI Engineer by trade, so I carry products past the front end too — FastAPI and Laravel on the backend, LLM integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic) when a feature genuinely calls for one, and deployments on Docker + Coolify that don't need babysitting.

On the frontend specifically, I care about the parts most portfolios skip: layout that doesn't shift, accessible markup, and pages that feel finished rather than assembled.
