My journey
I started by learning how a web page is structured. HTML came first, then CSS, then small JavaScript interactions. I now use PHP and MySQL when a page has to save a message and show it again.

I am Mahir Faysal, a student web developer in Bangladesh. I build websites and web apps with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, Next.js and TypeScript, and I take on business projects.

My interests
I like clean interfaces, readable code, and pages that do a real job: a business site, a dashboard, a form, a tool people open every day.
My learning goals
I want to keep shipping useful websites and take on projects I can build carefully. If you need a site or a web tool, I can do it.
Work I take
I take websites, landing pages, dashboards, and small web apps. If the work needs a form, a database, or a layout that works on a phone, I can build that too.

I build, and I can take the job.
I take websites, landing pages, dashboards, and small web apps. If the work needs a form, a database, or a layout that works on a phone, I can build that too.
A business site, an admin page, a form that stores a message, a dashboard, or a redesign of something that already exists: that is the work. Tell me what the page has to do and I will build it.
When someone asks what I do, the answer is: I am a student web developer in Bangladesh. I make websites and web tools, and I am available for projects.

How the pages started.
I started by learning how a web page is structured. HTML came first, then CSS, then small JavaScript interactions. I now use PHP and MySQL when a page has to save a message and show it again. Each of those steps was a real file on disk, not a course badge. HTML taught me that a page is a tree. CSS taught me that the tree can still look wrong. JavaScript taught me that a click can change the tree without a reload.
PHP came later, when I wanted the page to remember something. A contact message that disappears when you refresh is only half a form. MySQL is the other half: a table, a prepared statement, and a row I can open again from an admin screen.
I still write the simple version first. A heading, a paragraph, a link. Then spacing. Then a second page. Then the thing that fails on a narrow screen. That order is slower, and it is the reason the writing on this site sits in a column you can actually read.

How I work on a page.
A useful session has one target. “Make the whole site better” is too big. “Make the hero read from the top” is a real task. “Turn a business brief into a page people can use” is a real task.
Open one file
A stylesheet, a PHP view, or a small script. I try not to change five things at once, because then I cannot tell which change fixed the page.
Look at it in the browser
Desktop width and a phone width. If a word spills out of the column, the page is not done, even if the code looks fine in the editor.
Commit only what works
GitHub is the place I keep the version I am willing to show. A half-broken experiment stays local until it can be explained on a project page.

What I like working on.
I like clean interfaces, readable code, and pages that do a real job: a business site, a dashboard, a form, a tool people open every day.
Clean interface, for me, means the next action is obvious. A navbar that says where you are. A card that says what the project is. A footer that does not hide the links. I like the coder look — mono indexes, a terminal, dark glass — when it still reads like a document. Decoration that pushes the sentence down the page is not a design I want to keep.
A planner that stores tasks, a dashboard a business can open every day, a contact form that keeps the message: those are useful pages. If it helps the work get done, it belongs on this site.

What I am aiming at next.
I want to keep shipping useful websites and take on projects I can build carefully. If you need a site or a web tool, I can do it.
The next builds are concrete. PHP that is easy to follow. Forms that stay safe: prepared statements, a token, and a limit on how often a message can be sent. Pages a business can actually use, on a desktop and on a phone.
That is the work. I am a web developer, and a new project can start from the contact page.

Lines I will not cross on this portfolio.
- The job is web development: sites, tools, and business projects.
- No certificate I cannot open and verify.
- No sample blog post presented as a finished tutorial. If it is practice, the card says Sample.
- No live-demo button for a repository that is not actually published. Student Planner is the example: code on GitHub, no Pages site yet.
- Project inquiries belong on the contact page. I can take business work.
The certifications page stays empty until a document is real. The About page is long because the work, the stack, and the way a project starts all need room.

Where to go from here.
Skills explains the labels on every language. Projects lists the web apps I have built and published, each with a live demo or source link. The blog is notes, with a warning on anything that is only there to test the layout. If a sentence on this page is wrong, the contact form is the place to say so.
