About Me
I began my programming journey with the goal of reaching the ICPC World Finals. Along the
way, I connected with incredible peers and explored robotics, participating in maze-solving
competitions and building robotics projects for semester assignments. Curious about AI and
ML, my team and I collaborated on various projects, exploring and learning together, even
when faced with limited resources. These experiences broadened my skills and sparked my
interest in applying technology beyond traditional programming challenges.
Although I didn’t reach the ICPC World Finals, my journey through over 25 national and
international onsite competitions and more than 300 online contests, solving over 3000
problems, taught me that it's more than just achieving a goal. It’s about growing through
the experience, making an impact, and supporting my peers along the way. I believe in
maintaining a balance between my ambitions and the contributions I can make, while always
striving to be a good person and give back to the community.
Currently, I have been working for over 3 years as a full-stack software
engineer at Cefalo Bangladesh Ltd., a
Norwegian offshoring company based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I focus on
developing robust software solutions using technologies like Java, Kotlin, Spring
Boot, Angular, Elasticsearch, and PostgreSQL. I am passionate about solving
real-world problems and eager to explore new technologies that align with my interests and
beyond.
Research
My current research focuses on usable privacy and security, human-centered AI governance.
I am actively working on projects involving Personhood Credentials (PHC) Explainability development and
explicit data sharing mechanisms for voice actors.
Previously I worked on various domains, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) detection,
COVID-19 diagnosis using AI models, and privacy-preserving federated learning for financial
systems. Additionally, I've explored AI-based security solutions for smart cities,
showcasing the real-world applications of computational intelligence.
I am an incoming PhD student at Pennsylvania State University and will be joining the GPS Research Lab and I am excited for it!
