TechNews

A newsletter and blog platform with a proper admin dashboard behind it

A Laravel platform that combines a public site, where people read posts and subscribe, with an admin dashboard for writing, sending and replying. Newsletters are written in a rich-text editor, tested on yourself first, then sent through a background queue. Contact messages become support tickets you can answer by email from the dashboard.

Why I built it

Most newsletter tools are either a hosted service you rent, or a blog with a sign-up box bolted on. I wanted both halves in one app I control. The part I cared about most is sending: emails never go out during a web request, they go through a queue, so a newsletter to thousands of people doesn't freeze the page.

My role

Sole developer.

প্রশ্নব্যাংক · Question Bank

Every SSC and HSC board question, sorted so you can find it in seconds

An Android and iPhone app that brings past board questions from all 11 education boards of Bangladesh into one place, from 2015 to 2025, across 66 SSC and HSC subjects. Pick a subject, board and year and the full paper opens, or revise chapter by chapter and see which questions keep coming back. It works offline with no login. The current beta ships with sample questions in the real board format, clearly marked in the app, while the full paper set is added.

Case study

GridOptima

Turns an operator's plain-English notes into the cheapest valid 24-hour campus energy plan

My entry for the BUP CSE Fest 2026 hackathon's Smart Campus Energy Optimization Challenge. A campus runs on solar panels, a battery and the grid, and operators leave notes like "keep at least 40% in the battery overnight". GridOptima reads those notes with a language model, checks every rule it extracts with deterministic guardrails, then solves for the minimum-cost hour-by-hour schedule and replays it to prove it's valid before answering.
