About me

Practical IT, done carefully

I'm a Bangladeshi IT specialist. I hold a Master's in Information and Communications Engineering from the Berlin University of Applied Sciences (BHT) and a Bachelor's in Computer Science & Engineering from Prime University, Dhaka. My work sits where infrastructure, security and automation meet.

I have worked in aerospace, automotive, university lab, research and consulting environments, from managing Active Directory and virtual servers to coordinating GDPR and ISO 27001 requirements. I value clear documentation, tested backups and systems people can rely on. Since 2020 I have also worked as an editor for BDTone24.com, a Bangladeshi news portal. Outside work I volunteer with Rover Scouts, Youth for Better Future (YBF) and Amader Gaibandha, including disaster and humanitarian relief.
