I am a CS graduate and currently working as Software Developer for more than 2 years. I love to engage in any sorts of group activities and solve problems.

My research interests are Software Engineering, System Security, Privacy and Cloud. Currently juggling with some ideas around Machine learning integrated Blockchain to shield Crytographic Security threats that Quantum Computing can cause in near future.

Experience

Software Engineer II

Therap (BD) Ltd.

During my tenure at this US-based healthcare management company, I actively contributed to several major release updates, including version migration. I also designed flexible modules and data flows to accommodate the needs of third-party organizations. Throughout my time here, I developed strong teamwork, leadership, time management, collaboration, and presentation skills.

Developer and Content Designer

BRAC HNPP Application Development

During my graduation, I had this incredible opportunity to participate in a notable idea hackathon where our team emerged victorious. The prize included a contract to fully develop the project for the client, which allowed me to gain valuable insights into the entire software development process. Our team successfully maintained the application for a significant portion of the user base, and we effectively communicated with the business team and gathered user feedback through field visits.

October 2019 - November 2020

Research Assistant and Developer

University Research Center

I was fortunate enough to receive funding from our university for the research and development of an innovative learning module using virtual reality technology, which was previously showcased at a hackathon. At that time, as part of the project, I developed a prototype and conducted visits to autism schools to ensure its usability. Through this experience, I gained valuable insights into research protocols and compared existing solutions in the field. Pursuing this project two years ago helped me understand how to approach problems with practical solutions while verifying them from multiple angles.

Thesis & Projects

Undergrad Thesis

Security-as-a-Service: A Three-way Blockchain Based Security Service Delivery Model for the Cloud

I aimed to design a dynamic client-modifiable blockchain-based security service in Cloud platform. Client can configure their privacy, access policies which will be backed by blockchain network. We choose File Storage, one of the cloud service where we implemented our Security Service Model.

Projects

While prosposing project plans, my strategy is to first investigate a problem, navigate a solution plan and then go for the required stacks. I did several projects on Java Swing, Andriod Studio, Laravel, Node, Solidy. I always fond of developing games. In one of my undergrad project, I created a RPG game where everything including sprites, BGM are designed by ourselves.

Apart from these, I participated in several idea-hackathons and presentened team-winning solutions. Some of the ideas include -

  • Designing a VR-based learning module for children with Autism
  • Using Augmented Reality in medicine recognition and scheduling
  • AI-based suggestor for health emergency

Skills

Interests

Music

I love to explore and taste music of different genres. Some of my favourite genres are Indian Classical, Irish Instrumental, Pop, Rock. I am novice player of guiter and piano.

I have curated several playlists based on seperate modes and interests. Check my Spoity profile!!

Trips

Apart from being a software developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I love trekking a lot. I covered most of the hilly areas of my country, Bangladesh. I also travelled several places of India and Nepal like Meghalaya, Sandakphu, Mukthinath. Still a lot more to go.

WISH ME GOOD LUCK!!
