About Me

(in about 767 words)

Intro

From the moment I printed the “Hello World” in the console of my first application, I knew I was hooked into the world of programming, But programming was never been “just a side hustle” for me, it’s offered me an engaging challenge to continually learn and improve my skills in creating high-quality applications. What started with a simple “Hello World” has become a full-fledged passion that only gets more exciting as the years go by.

Currently

I'm focused on Full-Stack Web Development with a strong interest in AI integration. My current goal is to build meaningful SaaS products that solve real-world problems. Alongside this, I'm actively exploring Machine Learning and Deep Learning models to enhance the intelligence and functionality of the applications I create. It's an exciting phase of learning, building, and pushing creative and technical boundaries.

Some history

  • In 2011, my parents bought our first family laptop - an old HP running Windows 7. Within months, I wore out the spacebar playing games like GTA Vice City, Road Rash, and House of the Dead.

  • Around age 8, I asked my mom what my software engineer uncle actually did. She said, "He makes the games you play." That was the moment I decided - I want to create, not just consume.

  • In 2015, I moved to Dhaka and got into Rajuk Uttara Model School and College, one of the best institutions in the country. The experiences there shaped much of who I am today.

  • In 2016, I received my first novel - 1971 by Humayun Ahmed - as a prize for academic excellence. I read it in a single sitting. That night, I didn’t sleep - I fell in love with storytelling.

  • At age 12, I joined the Rajuk College Robotics & Technology Club. Though I didn’t grasp everything then, it sparked my curiosity and helped me discover my passion.

  • Between ages 12–14, I started learning Python, C, and C++ on my own. I devoured tutorials, books, and documentation - and I’ve never looked back.

  • 2020 was a transformative year. The pandemic brought isolation, but also opportunity. I began learning web development (MERN, Django), and joined global communities like freeCodeCamp, EddieHub, and MLH. These communities mentored me, shaped me, and showed me what collaboration looks like.

  • At age 16, I started blogging, hoping to give back. Writing has helped me grow - technically and personally.

  • Later in 2020, I launched PyCampaign20, an online beginner’s programming bootcamp for my classmates during lockdown. It was my first experience as a teacher - and it stuck with me. Teaching is now part of my identity.

  • In 2021, I realized that developer communities in Bangladesh often cater only to university students. To fill that gap, I co-founded The AS8 Organization, aimed at building an inclusive dev community for learners of all backgrounds.

  • In 2022, I was admitted into Notre Dame College, the top college in Bangladesh. I immersed myself in its vibrant learning culture and co-curricular opportunities. It was one of the best decisions of my life.

  • I joined NDITC (Notre Dame Information Technology Club) with a goal: to lead. Eventually, I became President, organizing multiple workshops, national fests (INIT 3.0 and 4.0), and collaborative projects that brought students together.

  • In parallel with club work, I stayed focused on academics. I earned the Honorable Mention Award for my performance.

  • In 2024, I sat for university entrance exams and was admitted to the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) for a bachelor's in Computer Science. I'm now a fresher here, excited for the journey ahead.
