From JH Graphics to CodeMyPixel: what six years of building taught me

Key takeaways
- I started in 2019 as a one-person design studio called JH Graphics.
- GraphinoBD (2020) taught me web development and WordPress, and ReviewClock (2022) taught me SEO and how traffic becomes revenue.
- My first AI product was a WordPress plugin for a French driving-exam company in 2023.
- I founded CodeMyPixel in 2024. Since then we have built the Quasara product ecosystem and, from 2025, LexClaro.
Every company I have started taught me the skill I needed for the next one. That is the short version of this story. The long version starts with logos.
2019: JH Graphics, a studio of one
JH Graphics was my first startup, and I was the only person in it. I designed logos, Facebook covers and social media visuals for clients.
Design work teaches you something early: clients rarely ask for what they actually need. They ask for a logo. What they need is to look trustworthy to a specific customer. Learning to hear the second request inside the first one is still the most useful skill I have.
2020: GraphinoBD and my first websites
In 2020, two friends and I started GraphinoBD. This is where I learned web development and WordPress, building websites for local companies in Bangladesh.
Going from design to code changed how I think. A design is a promise; a website has to keep it on a slow phone connection, with real content and real users.
2022: ReviewClock and the business of traffic
ReviewClock was my own Amazon affiliate website for product reviews. It grew quickly at first, and it taught me three things I use on every project today:
- SEO is architecture. Page structure and internal links matter as much as the words.
- Content needs a system. One good article is luck; fifty good articles is a process.
- Traffic is only useful when it turns into revenue. Measure the path, not just the visits.
2023: the first AI project
For a French driving-exam company, we built a WordPress plugin powered by an AI API. It was the first time I put AI inside a real product that real people depended on.
That project showed me where AI is strong: turning messy input into structured, useful output, quickly and at scale. It also showed me where it needs guardrails. I have not stopped building with it since.
2024: CodeMyPixel and the Quasara ecosystem
In 2024 I founded CodeMyPixel and started working with Quasara, a company based in the Netherlands. Since then, we have built their entire product ecosystem together: QuasarAISEO, SocialQuasar, Quasarflow and Quasarleads.
| Product | What it does |
|---|---|
| QuasarAISEO | An AI WordPress plugin that generates SEO landing pages in bulk |
| SocialQuasar | Schedules social content, handles engagement and reports analytics for Dutch enterprises |
Working with one client across many products teaches you to design systems that share data, logic and design decisions, instead of building each tool from scratch.
2025: LexClaro, in partnership
In 2025 we started LexClaro, an AI platform for legal teams in Spain, in partnership with its owner, Roy van Hemert. It is a different kind of responsibility: we are building with a partner, not only for a client.
What connects all of it
Looking back, each step added one layer:
- JH Graphics taught me to understand what people need.
- GraphinoBD taught me to build it.
- ReviewClock taught me to get it found.
- The first AI plugin taught me to make it smarter.
- CodeMyPixel is where all four come together, with a team.
