Hi, welcome to my blog. If you have landed on my site searching for me then I am glad you are interested about me, nice.
I am Tareq (Tareq Hasan). I am a techy guy, who is passionate about softwares and programming. I’ve completed my bachelors degree in Computer Science from University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. My primary expertise is with LAMP stack and I have more than 7 years of experience on building robust and scalable web applications (not websites huh?) with bleeding edge technologies. I specialize on PHP frameworks such as Codeigniter, Zend Framework, Symfony2 and Laravel. I love WordPress as a CMS and a web application platform where I have already built custom and complicated applications easily with the powerful API it provides. You’ll find I’ve written quite a lot of plugins for WordPress and some of them are very good at what they do. I am good with JavaScript too. I love jQuery, Node.js and Backbone.js. As a web application developer, I am quite good with HTML5 and CSS3 too. And BTW, I don’t do designs, it hurts!
Besides working with LAMP stack, I do have experience in other technologies. I have worked on Android application development and I’ve built Android apps with native Java and other intermediate platforms like Phonegap and Appcelerator Titanium. I am very much interested and have a decent experience with Python, Django and Ruby on Rails and did some small projects with these technologies.
I use PHP and Linux on my day-to-day work. I am a fast learner and I am always searching to learn something new and interesting. I am very passionate about what I do.
I occasionally contribute to open source projects and I share my codes at github and write some techy post on this blog though I suck at blogging!
I founded a small company weDevs, we make products/plugins around WordPress ecosystem. Rx71 is also a dream project by which we are trying to digitize and revolutionized the health sector of Bangladesh.
