Abdul Hamid ShuvoSenior Software Engineer

I'm Abdul Hamid Shuvo — 17 years building software, the last 9 at Chaldal (YC S15), shipping national-scale grocery and logistics products from scratch.

React · React Native · TypeScript · F# · Systems at scale

As a senior software engineer, I still build and own products end to end — from first mobile web through native apps to field logistics — with reliability under flaky networks, dispatch pressure, and a steady release cadence. From 2009 through 2016 I co-founded Dwetech and delivered 60+ international client projects; since January 2017 at Chaldal: mobile web from zero, native shopper apps, Chalao ride-sharing (BRTA licensing), Chalao Driver for last-mile logistics, and Protocol with platform architecture in F# and TypeScript.

About

Building products people actually use

I started freelancing and co-founded Dwetech in 2009, delivering 60+ international projects over roughly seven years for clients across the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia. In January 2017, Chaldal (YC S15, ~2,200 staff) had minimal desktop web, no mobile web, and no production native shopper apps on a national-scale grocery and logistics platform. I built mobile web alone from zero, rebuilt and evolved the desktop experience, and led the ground-up Android and iOS shopper apps with teammates on delivery. After that foundation, I moved into Chalao as a consumer ride-sharing product under Chaldal: I built the app and carried BRTA meetings, documentation, and licensing so we could enlist; the ride business did not continue. Today the name Chalao also covers Chalao Driver, our logistics driver app for Chaldal’s own delivery network, which I own end to end with the same rigor I brought to the shopper stack — spanning logistics apps and platform architecture.

Experience

Ownership across products and lifecycle

About 17 years total: Dwetech from 2009 through 2016, then 9+ years at Chaldal (YC S15) from January 2017 — shopper web and native apps built from zero, then ride-sharing and logistics operations at national scale.

Senior Software Engineer

Chaldal (YC S15) · Dhaka, Bangladesh

Jan 2017 - Present

  • Joined January 2017 when Chaldal had only bare-minimum desktop web: built mobile web alone (none existed), evolved desktop into the modern production shopper site, and shipped native Android and iOS shopper apps from the ground up as the primary engineer.
  • Built Chalao consumer ride-sharing under Chaldal licensing: shipped the app and led BRTA and government-side work (meetings, documentation, enlistment). The ride business did not continue — Chaldal was listed among operators receiving BRTA enlistment certificates (Daily Star, Dec 2019).
  • Own Chalao Driver (logistics): React Native operations app for Chaldal’s last-mile drivers, not the same product as consumer ride-sharing. Full ownership, real-time dispatch, unreliable networks, and ongoing Play Store releases.
  • Build and maintain GogoBangla, Chaldal’s merchant fulfillment app for e-commerce and f-commerce: picking, warehousing, and shipping on the same national logistics network — so merchants focus on sales while Chaldal handles last mile.
  • Shipped Protocol for 1,000+ internal users (also on Play Store), maintained other Chaldal operations apps where applicable, and was an early core contributor to Subject / EggShell on the frontend layer.

Co-founder & Lead Developer

Dwetech · Bangladesh (remote client delivery)

Jun 2009 - Dec 2016

  • Co-founded a software company and delivered 60+ projects for clients across the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia.
  • Built product and client systems across PHP, JavaScript, CMS ecosystems, integrations, and automation-heavy workflows.
  • Built in-house SaaS products (CRM, mobile credit recharge) alongside client delivery. Maintained a 5.0 rating across 63 completed projects on Freelancer.com, including multi-year engagements with repeat enterprise clients.

Selected Work

Projects with durable product impact

Chaldal shopper apps at national scale, GogoBangla merchant fulfillment, logistics operations, internal Protocol, historical Chalao ride-sharing (regulatory), and open-source platform work.

Chaldal shopper — consumer grocery app for national delivery

Chaldal Shopper App

Production app

Consumer grocery app for Chaldal’s national delivery platform. Primary engineer on the original Android and iOS build from the ground up; ongoing releases and production ownership across the shopper stack.

Android: 1M+ downloads, 4.4★ · iOS: 4.8★. National-scale traffic, payments, and fulfillment UX in a regulated retail environment.

GogoBangla — merchant fulfillment app for e-commerce and f-commerce

GogoBangla

B2B · Live

Merchant-facing fulfillment app for Chaldal’s B2B logistics platform. E-commerce and f-commerce sellers use it to hand off picking, storage, and last-mile delivery — leveraging the same warehouse and delivery network built for national grocery scale.

Live on Google Play with ongoing releases (updated Dec 2025). Supports merchant order fulfillment, pickups, and exchanges across Chaldal’s logistics footprint — dozens of large stores and hundreds of online merchants per Chaldal Engineering.

Chalao ride-sharing — regulatory and product chapter under Chaldal

Chalao (ride-sharing)

Regulatory

Consumer ride-hailing app licensed under Chaldal. I built the application and owned the regulatory path: BRTA meetings, documentation, and enlistment so we could operate in that category.

Chaldal was listed among operators receiving BRTA enlistment certificates (Daily Star, Dec 2019). The ride-sharing business did not continue as an operating line; the work still shows product plus regulatory execution under pressure.

Chalao Driver — React Native app for Chaldal last-mile logistics

Chalao Driver (logistics)

Live app

Production React Native app for Chaldal’s own last-mile drivers: dispatch, navigation, earnings, and field operations. Same brand family as historical Chalao ride-sharing, different product and codebase era.

Designed for real-world constraints: unstable connectivity, location reliability, battery limits, and ongoing release cadence. Full product ownership from spec through production.

Protocol by Chaldal — internal operations collaboration platform

Protocol by Chaldal

Internal · Live

Internal and mobile collaboration platform used by operations, finance, HR, and engineering teams.

Improved task visibility and coordination at scale with a practical workflow model used by 1,000+ internal users.

Subject / EggShell — open-source frontend stack contribution

Subject / EggShell

Open source

Open-source application stack contribution focused on frontend layer APIs and foundational component patterns.

Helped shape early architecture decisions and reusable building blocks that made product development faster and safer.
