Nabil Chowdhury
I build software that keeps working after I leave. That is harder than it sounds.
I build web and mobile apps, mostly for businesses in Bangladesh that have outgrown a spreadsheet. Eight years in, I still write the documentation first.

How I work
Anyone can build a thing that works on the day it is handed over. The real work is building something a different person can fix two years later without being frightened of it.
I work with a small number of clients at a time, and I answer every message myself. If a job is better done by someone else, I will say so and name them.
