About Me
Abstract — Senior Software Engineer at Optimizely and Adjunct Lecturer with over 5 years of industry experience across distributed systems, AI/ML-driven backend engineering, and cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP.
My background spans both industry and academia. My undergraduate thesis at Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology focused on emotion detection using deep learning, and I have two peer-reviewed IEEE conference publications in NLP and emotion analysis. I have presented at international conferences and served as a conference rapporteur.
Alongside my engineering work I teach computer science at the university level, covering web development, backend engineering, algorithms, and object-oriented programming. My current research interests include AI-assisted software engineering, LLMs and AI agents, optimization, and quantum computing.

Passionate about new technologies and highly collaborative, thriving in innovative environments.
