Open to internships & co-op roles

Hi, I'm Tahmid —
a CS student building
thoughtful full-stack web apps.

I'm based in Kamloops, BC, studying Computer Science at Thompson Rivers University. I enjoy turning ideas into real products using React, Next.js, Node.js, APIs, and clean user-focused design.

01. about

The person behind the code.

I like building projects that feel useful, simple, and meaningful. For me, coding isn't only about writing functions or connecting APIs — it's about taking an idea, shaping the experience, and turning it into something people can actually use.

I'm currently a third-year Computer Science student at Thompson Rivers University, focused on full-stack web development. I enjoy working with React, Next.js, Node.js, databases, and modern tools that help bring ideas to life.

Outside of coding, I'm drawn to design, thoughtful apps, and the intersection of logic and creativity. I care about the details — the spacing, the flow, the way something feels to use.

02. projects

Things I've built.

Four real products — not tutorials, not clones. Each one solves an actual problem.

Faith-Based App

Divine Mood

A thoughtful Next.js app that returns Quran and Bible verses based on a user's mood, situation, or emotional state — using LLM-powered semantic matching.

Problem

Finding spiritually relevant verses during emotional moments is hard. Generic search doesn't understand context or feeling.

Solution

Users describe how they feel in natural language. The app matches their input to relevant verses across Quran and Bible using semantic search.

Mood-based search Natural language input Quran + Bible Saved favorites History
Next.js TypeScript OpenAI API PostgreSQL Tailwind CSS Auth
What it proves → LLM integration · semantic search · auth · product thinking
Study App

StudyForge

A study platform designed to help students organize learning, review smarter, and stay consistent — with spaced repetition and progress tracking.

Problem

Students lose track of what to review, when to review it, and which topics need the most work.

Solution

Spaced repetition scheduling, weak-topic detection, and a progress dashboard that gives students clarity on what to study next.

React Node.js Express PostgreSQL Prisma Tailwind CSS
What it proves → Algorithm logic · CRUD ops · DB design · dashboard UI
Dev Tool

CommitCanvas

A GitHub contribution visualizer that turns commit history into clean, shareable graphics — heatmaps, language breakdowns, and year-in-code cards.

Problem

GitHub profiles show raw activity data, but don't tell a clear visual story of a developer's year or growth.

Solution

Pull GitHub data via REST + GraphQL APIs and generate downloadable PNG graphics showing heatmaps, language breakdowns, and annual summaries.

What it proves → API integration · data viz · image gen · performance
Utility App

RentSplit

A bill-splitting app for roommates that tracks shared expenses and calculates the minimum number of transactions needed to settle all balances.

Problem

Roommates splitting rent, groceries, and utilities manually leads to confusion, forgotten debts, and awkward conversations.

Solution

Track all shared expenses, run a debt simplification algorithm to minimize transactions, and send email reminders for recurring bills.

05. proof of work

Proof of Work.

I use GitHub as a place to build, experiment, and document my learning. My projects focus on full-stack development, API integration, clean UI, and practical problem-solving.

06. beyond the code

More than code.

"I'm drawn to projects that combine logic, design, and real usefulness. I like apps that feel clean, calm, and easy to understand. Whether I'm building a study tool, a faith-based verse recommender, or a GitHub visualizer, I care about making the experience feel clear and thoughtful."

Built from scratch

I like starting with a blank file. It forces real understanding.

Clean design

I care about the layout, the spacing, and how something feels to use.

Learning by doing

Real projects teach me more than any course. I build to understand.

Small ideas, polished

I enjoy taking a small, specific idea and making it genuinely good.

Product & UX minded

Software, design, and user experience all matter to me equally.

07. contact

Let's talk.

I'm open to internships, co-op opportunities, and software development roles where I can learn, contribute, and build meaningful products. If you're building something interesting, I'd love to hear about it.
