My Story

I'm a Computer Science & Engineering graduate from the University of Dhaka, currently working as an AI Engineer at Penta Global Ltd, where I design agentic LLM pipelines to automate complex telecommunication workflows.

My journey spans the full spectrum — from writing research papers on Bangla NLP and transformer fine-tuning, to shipping production full-stack applications and leading product strategy. I have a deep passion for building things that are not just technically sound, but genuinely useful.

Beyond code, I've served as Vice-President of the CSEDU Student's Club, competed as a debater and quizzer, and solved 200+ competitive programming problems. I believe great engineers are builders, communicators, and curious humans — all at once.
