About
A small core, and the right specialist when the work needs one.
Carrying a full-time bench is worse economics than bringing in the right skill when a project needs it. So we don’t.
The permanent core
Shamim Ferdous
Founder & principal engineer
Founded CodeNine in December 2020 and still writes production code. Scopes the work you would be buying, and then builds it.
Shofiqul Islam Miraz
Technical lead
Leads delivery across the systems we hold in custody. The second engineer who reads your code, and the one who answers when monitoring fires.
These two are the whole permanent core. Specialists are contracted per project. Native Android on the Uganda fintech systems is the clearest example, and that developer is credited as a contractor wherever the work appears.
The firm
Checkable facts, in place of adjectives.
A fully remote, international engineering firm. Registering as a US LLC; a Bangladesh entity may exist alongside.

BangladeshNo handover.
The engineers who scope the work write it. There is no salesperson between you and the person typing.
0Four clients at a time.
A capacity limit, stated because it is the reason custody works rather than a slogan about focus.
4Contracted specialists, not a bench.
Bringing in the right skill per project beats carrying one full-time. Native Android is the clearest example.
2What we are not
Blunt is cheaper than a wasted call.
Not a large agency. There is no delivery department behind us.
Not a body shop. We do not place engineers into your team by the seat.
Not the cheapest option. Buyers shopping purely on hourly rate should keep shopping.
Not a local business. No office, no street address, and no local market. We have always sold internationally.
