Computer Science & Engineering Student | BUET | 4th Year

About Me

I'm a final-year Computer Science & Engineering student at Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET), expected to graduate in June 2026. My journey in computer science has been driven by a passion for creating innovative solutions — from full-stack web applications to deep learning research.

I currently work as a Software Development Intern at CalcHVAC (New York, Remote), building full-stack solutions with Python, JavaScript, and Three.js. I'm also an active Open Source Developer, contributing to React Native mobile and Electron desktop applications with offline-first architecture using WatermelonDB.

My research focuses on deep learning for medical imaging — my thesis involves auto-annotation of 3D QCT images under the supervision of Dr. Mahmuda Naznin at BUET. I'm also working on knowledge distillation of transformer models for biological sequence classification.

I'm a firm believer in collaborative development and have actively participated in hackathons including CUET Datathon (Finalist), SOLVIO AI Hackathon, and IEEE VIP Cup. Beyond coding, I'm a travel enthusiast who loves exploring new places and cultures, bringing fresh perspectives back to my work as a developer.
