Hi, I am Mahmud Ridwan — a software engineer based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, building tools that help programmers compete, learn, and grow.

In 2015, I founded Furqan Software and turned a side project into Toph, now Bangladesh’s leading competitive programming platform. Before that, I spent years honing my craft as a developer and discovered a deep love for competitive programming during my B.Sc. in Computer Science (2012).

I take on freelance work through networks like Toptal, collaborating on diverse engineering challenges across the stack. I am also an open-source enthusiast. You can find much of what I have built and contributed to on my open-source page.

I have been writing software professionally since 2010. I care about free software, elegant solutions, and shipping things that actually work.

See what I am focused on right now on my now page.
