"Zahid has successfully delivered and deployed HCM within our company."
That's from the client review that landed on my profile this week, for OneHub — the payroll and people-operations platform I built for TechFoundry. Monthly payroll with fiscal-year tax withholding, payslips and tax certificates on demand, expense reports read line by line by Claude, and one reporting layer so the dashboard, the payslip and the certificate always agree.
The word I care about in that review is "deployed". Delivered means the code works. Deployed means payroll runs on it every month, people are paid the right amount, and nobody has to call me.
The thing I'd do differently: the tax rules started out hard-coded. Fine for one country, one fiscal year — until it wasn't. We later pulled them out into a rules engine so the same payroll runs across countries without touching the code. Next time that's day one, not a refactor.
I’ve released a 100% open-source Next.js + Shopify template with a retro look and the essentials to start building: product collections, variant selection, a shopping cart, and responsive layouts.
Run it with the included demo catalog, make it your own, then connect your Shopify store for live commerce.
Built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. Free under the MIT license and ready to download and customize.
