I'm Abrar.
I build things. That's the simplest way I can put it.
I grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and later found my way to Potsdam, Germany to study Data Science & Digital Business. Somewhere between those two places is most of my story.
I like problems that look boring from the outside. The unglamorous ones. The kind where a business is quietly held together by spreadsheets and manual work, and everyone's too busy to fix it. There's something satisfying about pulling apart a mess like that and finding the shape underneath.
That's really how I ended up building. Not because I set out to be a founder, but because I kept running into problems I wanted to solve and couldn't stop thinking about. The biggest one so far was Redshop.
I spent nearly three years building a B2B commerce platform in Bangladesh. It started as a small idea about merchants drowning in disconnected apps, and grew into something that processed hundreds of thousands of orders. I learned more in those three years than in any classroom, about products, people, money, and how much you don't know.
Building taught me how much founders have to figure out alone, usually the hard way, usually with a spreadsheet that gets it slightly wrong. So this site is where I try to give some of that back. I make free tools for founders, small, focused things that answer one messy question clearly, no signup, nothing to buy. And I share what I'm learning as I go, mostly to understand it better myself. If it helps someone else, even better. That's the whole idea. Useful things, given away.
It's also just a place to be found. I'd rather build quietly than chase attention, but I've learned that the good things, the people worth knowing, the work worth doing, the doors that open, tend to come from putting what you make out into the world. So this is my corner of it. If you care about the same things I do, or you're building something, or there's a reason our paths should cross, this is where you'll find me.
I'm not trying to be the loudest person in the room. I'd rather let the work speak. But I'm always happy to talk to people who care about the same things, so if that's you, reach out.
That's me. Thanks for reading.
