Passionate about crafting software that scales
I'm Mahamudul Hasan Rubel — a software engineer from Dhaka, Bangladesh, with 12+ years of building for the web. What began as freelance projects in 2011 has grown into a career spanning SaaS platforms, WordPress products used by thousands, and modern React/Next.js applications.
Today I lead backend and SaaS architecture at JoulesLabs, where my team builds ReviewX— a WooCommerce reviews platform trusted by 10,000+ businesses worldwide. Over the last few years I've gone deep on Laravel, REST APIs, and scalable backend systems, while staying hands-on across the full stack.
I care about the things that quietly make software good: clean architecture, fast load times, and code the next engineer can actually read. I try to lead the same way — clearly, patiently, and with respect for the people I work with. If you're building something that matters, I'd genuinely love to hear about it.
My Journey
Started Freelancing
Began building websites for clients worldwide on Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer — learning to ship under real deadlines and talk directly with the people I was building for.
Leading a Team at Nexus IT
Joined Nexus IT as Senior Web Developer and led a small web team, owning client meetings and on-time delivery of corporate and eCommerce projects.
Started Teaching
Began teaching WordPress and Linux as an instructor — eventually mentoring 30+ aspiring developers into their first tech roles.
Founded Ract Software Solutions
Started my own company as Founder, CEO & CTO — delivering WordPress products and custom PHP software while building and leading the team.
Went Full Remote with Ract Studio
Ran my own remote studio for 7+ years, delivering 50+ projects end to end as a full-stack and DevOps engineer.
Scaling to Millions at Triple A Tech
Led full-stack development of large-scale, content-heavy WordPress platforms collectively serving 5M+ users.
Team Lead at JoulesLabs
Joined JoulesLabs to lead backend and SaaS architecture for ReviewX — a WooCommerce reviews platform trusted by 10,000+ businesses worldwide.
Engineering Philosophy
Ship incrementally
Prefer small, working releases over big-bang launches. Real users reveal what specs cannot.
Performance is a feature
Every millisecond matters. Lighthouse scores, query times, and bundle sizes are first-class citizens.
Code is communication
Clear, readable code is documentation. I write for the next engineer, not the compiler.
Lift the whole team
A rising tide lifts all boats. Investing in the people around me multiplies what we ship together.
Beyond Code
I've taught WordPress and Linux to 30+ students, several of whom now work as professional developers. I also build and share independent tools — like CodeToolStack and the open-source Essential WP Tools plugin — because the best way I know to learn is to build something real and put it out into the world.
