I’m Shazzad Hossain Khan, Principal Software Engineer at Hudson Creative Studio. A father, husband, and tech enthusiast, I embrace self-belief and automation. With 16+ years across startups, agencies, and product teams, I build scalable systems in WordPress, Laravel, and React — from plugin architecture to production infrastructure.

I began my journey in 2009 on Freelancer.com, where I built my foundation in web development and client collaboration. After several years working in-house (2016–2019), I moved to Upwork, continuing to deliver full-stack solutions for clients worldwide. Over time, I’ve published plugins on CodeCanyon and maintained open-source libraries on GitHub and WordPress.org.

In 2022, I joined Hudson Creative Studio as a Senior WordPress Engineer, and since May 2024, I’ve been working as Principal Software Engineer, leading a distributed development team. My role involves providing architectural direction, enforcing best practices, and ensuring smooth delivery across large multi-platform projects.

Recent highlights include:

  • Visited Bali, Indonesia. Meet Eli Pritykin in person.
  • WordPress Test Team badge.
  • Attended School Reunion.
  • Visited Cox’s Bazar for the third-time.
  • Core Contributor to WordPress 6.9.
  • Received long awaited books.
  • Contributed to WordPress core testing.
  • Attended a WordCamp at Dhaka WordCamp 2025
  • Attended a WordPress Contributor Day.
  • Leading a distributed engineering team at Hudson Creative Studio — architecture, code standards, and reviews.
  • Working AI into everyday engineering — Claude-powered workflows, automation, and tooling.
  • Running production infrastructure with Docker, Nginx, Prometheus, and Grafana.

My technical focus spans WordPress, Laravel, FilamentPHP, Vuejs, ReactJs, and Docker, supported by deep experience in API integrations, data modeling, and infrastructure automation. I also work extensively with Nginx, Supervisor, Prometheus, and Grafana for system monitoring and deployment pipelines.

Beyond the stack, I care about building scalable architectures, mentoring engineers, and creating products that actually make work easier for people — not just more complex.
