Most people who reach this page in Dhaka are not building software for the first time. They tried an agency and got a half-working system. Now they need someone who will actually fix it or rebuild it right. I am RH Fardin, a senior solo operator. I personally scope, design, code and ship custom software for Dhaka businesses. You explain the problem once, to the person who will solve it. Web tools start at 50,000 BDT, and full custom systems start at 3,00,000 BDT.
About 5 years building for BD businesses. One senior hand, no juniors. bKash, Nagad and bank transfer. 50% advance, 50% on launch. Design approved before any code.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

Almost every week, a business owner in Gulshan, Motijheel or Mirpur comes looking for a custom software development expert in Dhaka with the same story. "We already paid for a system. It half works. The developer stopped replying. Can you take it over?" That one story tells me more about the Dhaka custom software market than any brochure.
The problem is rarely that Bangladeshi developers cannot code. The people selling "custom software" in this city are usually not the people building it. So nobody owns the result when it breaks. By the time the work starts, your brief has passed through a salesperson, a coordinator and whichever junior was free that week.
Being a custom software development expert in Dhaka is not about knowing more frameworks than the next shop. It is about knowing which questions to ask before anyone writes a line of code. It also means being honest enough to talk you out of features you do not need.
When you send me a brief, I push on the things agencies skip. How many staff will use this daily? Will they use a phone or a desktop? Where does the money actually flow? Is the data sensitive? What breaks in your current process at 5pm on a busy day? Those answers decide whether you need a 90,000 BDT web app or a 5,00,000 BDT system. I will tell you the truth either way.
I am RH Fardin, a developer with about five years of building custom software, web apps and ecommerce systems for businesses across Bangladesh. I do not run a floor of desks in Banani. I take a small number of projects at a time and own each one personally.
That covers the requirements call, the database design, the screens, the launch and the late-night WhatsApp message when something needs attention. When you hire me, there is no account manager between you and the person whose hands are on your code.
Pricing is plain and quoted in BDT, not dollars. The smallest job, a single-purpose internal tool or admin panel, starts at 50,000 BDT. Mid-size web software lands in my 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT range. A real custom system with several user roles, reporting, payment links and proper backups starts at 3,00,000 BDT and grows with scope.
You pay 50% in advance to begin and 50% on launch day, before the final version goes live. No surprise milestone fees and no forced maintenance retainer you never asked for.
The word "expert" should mean something specific. Here is what actually changes when one senior operator owns your build from start to finish in Dhaka.
The person who hears your needs is the person who writes the SQL and designs the dashboard. Nothing gets lost between a salesperson, a coordinator and a junior who never met you.
I take over half-finished or abandoned systems that other Dhaka developers walked away from. I check the code honestly and tell you what can be saved. Then I fix it or rebuild from there.
Payment setup for bKash Merchant, Nagad, SSLCommerz and AamarPay is standard scope. I have already handled the OTP flows, IPN callbacks, refunds and reconciliation reports.
Admin panels are mobile-first, because your manager runs the business from a phone. You get BDT lakh-style number formats, Bangla-aware fields, 11-digit phone checks and forms that survive a weak signal.
You approve the full UI in writing before I touch the backend. If what you get does not match the screens you signed off, I fix it on my time, not your budget.
On launch you get the full source, the database, hosting access and a plain-language handover doc. If you ever replace me, the next developer can read it without starting over.
Almost everyone selling software in Dhaka calls themselves an expert. So the word is useless until you know how to test it. Before you pay anyone a deposit, do three things. First, ask to speak to the person who will write your code, not the person selling it. In most Dhaka agencies these are different people. The senior who pitched you will be on another sale by the time your project starts.
Second, ask them to walk you through a similar system they built. Ask to see the real admin panel, not a slideshow. Third, ask one hard scoping question about your own business. For example, how would they handle a partial bKash refund, or a wholesale buyer with a credit limit? Listen for whether they ask you questions back or just say "yes, no problem." A real expert digs into the edge cases. A salesperson agrees to everything and renegotiates later.
The next test is what happens after launch. Custom software is never truly finished. It just reaches version one. Your staff will use it for two weeks and come back with a dozen requests. Half will be real bugs and half will be "can we also do this" ideas. Ask any Dhaka developer two questions before you sign. Do you fix real bugs for free for a period after launch? And do I own the source code outright?
With me, the answers are 30 days of free bug fixes, and yes, you own everything. I upload it to your own GitHub on launch day. The developers who go quiet after the deposit are the same ones who keep the code on their private server so you cannot leave. That one difference separates a custom software development expert in Dhaka from a vendor collecting an advance.

Real questions Dhaka business owners ask me when they want a custom software development expert, not a sales pitch.
My floor for any serious build is 50,000 BDT for a single-purpose internal tool or admin panel. Mid-size custom web software usually lands at 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT. A full custom system with several user roles, reporting, bKash or Nagad payments and proper backups starts at 3,00,000 BDT and grows with scope. The exact figure depends on the number of roles and connections, and whether you also need mobile apps. I quote one fixed price after a proper scoping call, never a vague range over the phone.
Yes, this is a large part of what I do. Send me access to whatever exists: the code, the database and the hosting. I will check it honestly. Sometimes the current work can be saved, and I continue from there, which saves you money. Sometimes the base is so weak that rebuilding costs less than patching. Then I will tell you plainly, with reasons, instead of just selling you a fresh project. Either way, you get a straight answer before you commit any money.
One senior operator. RH Fardin. No floor of desks in Gulshan or Banani, and no juniors I quietly hand your work to. The person who quotes you is the person who writes your code. It is also the person you message when something needs attention. That is the whole point. It is the main reason Dhaka owners pick me after an agency has already burned them once.
I build web-based business tools. That includes stock systems, POS for showrooms and restaurants, and booking systems for clinics and salons. It also covers school and coaching admin panels and distributor or wholesale order systems. Add internal CRMs, invoicing with bKash and Nagad matching, and light ERPs for small to mid-size firms. My zone is web software with 1 to 5 user roles, a clean admin panel and reporting. If you need a 200-screen enterprise ERP for thousands of staff, I will refer you to a larger team.
bKash and Nagad both work for the advance, with bank transfer for larger amounts. I take 50% to start work and 50% on launch day, before the final version goes live. No hidden milestone charges halfway through and no forced maintenance retainer. Everything goes into a simple contract before you pay anything.
A small 50,000 BDT tool usually takes two to three weeks. A 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT mid-size build usually takes four to seven weeks. A full custom system from 3,00,000 BDT usually takes two to four months. Weeks one and two go on needs and design. Then come building, your team testing on a staging server, fixes and go-live. I commit to a written timeline before the advance and warn you at once if anything may slip. Anyone promising a real custom system in three weeks is reskinning a template.
