About
I'm an MSc student from Fall 2025 and I'm passionate about making technology accessible, fair, and accountable.
I got my undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), Bangladesh, in 2022 and worked in the tech industry as a product manager and IT auditor for nearly 3 years. And now I'm back in academia again, researching the intersection between digital censorship and HCI.
Outside of my work, I love exploring new places or cafes around the city and I often try to dance!!
