/about — residual self image
I've been unplugging systems from bad decisions since 2012.
I'm Sady Plabon, and I came at this from the wrong end on purpose. I started freelancing in 2012 doing SEO — the traffic side, long before the building side. Spend enough years trying to rank sites you are not allowed to change and you learn the lesson early: the build and the visibility are the same problem wearing two hats. So in 2015 I started making the things myself.
Since then it has gone downward through the stack rather than sideways. E-commerce manager at Pran-RFL Group, then Jamuna Group. Now IT manager at The Daily Campus, where I build and maintain the platform, produce interactive ads, and run the infrastructure it all sits on — Docker, nginx, pipelines, the machinery nobody thanks you for until the day it stops.
That whole path is the pitch. I can model the database, write the permission rules where they actually hold, ship the interface, deploy it, and then tell you in the same conversation whether anyone will ever find it. No handoff, no "that's the dev team's side", no three-agency telephone game.
The rest of the time I make music and take photographs, which turn out to be the same job with different tools. Get the timing right. Decide what stays in the frame. Then take out every part that isn't carrying its weight. Builds, mixes and photographs all fail the same way — too many things competing at once, every one of them technically correct.
Do I know kung fu? No. But I have read your theme's functions.php, and honestly that took more courage.
Timeline
Jacked in — freelance, SEO first
Started on the traffic side, not the build side: why does one page get found and an identical one never surface? Everything after this is downstream of that question.
Started building the pages, not just ranking them
WordPress, because that was the work. Optimising a site you are not allowed to change teaches you quickly that the build and the visibility are the same problem wearing two hats.
Pran-RFL Group — E-commerce Manager
Moved from client work into running e-commerce inside one of Bangladesh's largest conglomerates. Different scale, same question, much larger blast radius.
Jamuna Group — E-commerce Manager
Same role, another of the country's big groups. By this point the interesting problems had stopped being campaigns and started being systems.
The Daily Campus — IT Manager
Building and maintaining the platform, producing interactive ads, and running the infrastructure underneath it. Personal constructs on the side, most nights.

Rules the machine enforces
Row-level security · Firestore rules · schema design · migrations · auth flows · role modelling
Run the machine

Make the signal reach someone
Technical SEO · JSON-LD schema · content architecture · Core Web Vitals · Search Console · Google Ads
Off the clock
Music · photography · knowing when a part is one part too many
