Hi, I'm Emon Islam Shanto
I'm a software engineer at Octopi Digital. I work in Node.js and Laravel on multi-tenant SaaS platforms, Stripe billing, queue workers and AI-enabled features, from the database up to production.
About me
I'm a software engineer at Octopi Digital. I lead the day-to-day technical work on our development team, and I work directly with clients to pin down what they need before any code gets written.
My focus is the backend: REST APIs, business logic, Stripe payments and webhooks, background workers, and keeping production servers healthy. I work in Node.js, Express and MongoDB, and in Laravel with MySQL.
When a project needs it, I work on the React side too. Lately that has included AI-enabled features on a production healthcare platform.
I have a BSc in Software Engineering from Daffodil International University, where I majored in Data Science (December 2024).
Services
Most projects start with the backend. I can take on the full app when needed, and add AI features where they make sense.
You need an API your frontend, partners and team can build on.
I design REST APIs, write the business logic behind them, check every input and connect the third-party services your product depends on.
You want AI in your product without losing control of it.
I connect language models to your app on the server, with clear limits on what the model can see and do.
Queries are getting slow, or the data model no longer fits.
I model data around how your app reads and writes it, add the right indexes and plan migrations carefully.
You need a dashboard, admin panel or customer portal.
When the project needs the whole app, I build it end to end: React front end, API and database.
Sign-in, roles, payments and outside services all have to agree.
I set up authentication and role-based access, Stripe payments and subscriptions, webhooks and the background jobs that keep everything in sync.
Your app needs a proper home and someone to keep it running.
I deploy to Linux servers with Nginx and PM2, fix production issues and handle the ongoing maintenance.

Process
Five small steps, so you always know where things stand.
Step 01
I read the requirements and the existing code, and ask questions until the goal is clear.
Step 02
You get a short written plan: the approach, a rough timeline and any risks.
Step 03
I write clean, maintainable code and share progress as I go.
Step 04
I test the important paths and fix issues before anything ships.
Step 05
Working code, tidy Git commits and a handover note.
I use Claude Code and Cursor to move faster. Every change they help with is reviewed and tested by me before it ships.
