About Me
PhD Candidate at School of IT, Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment (SEBE),
Deakin University, Waurn Ponds campus. Subject area is LLM-augmented behavioural and physical layer reasoning for CPS/ICS security to detect stealthy and supply chain attacks.
3+ YoE in AI/ML and Data Science, developing solutions across IT consulting, SaaS, and e-commerce industries. Worked as an Application Developer (AI/ML) at Dexian, a leading staffing firm in the US and as an AI Engineer at BrillMark.
Graduated from Islamic University of Technology in 2023 with a B.Sc. (First Class) in Computer Science and Engineering. Focused on machine learning, pattern recognition, and software design. My research work on "HaSPeR: An Image Repository for Hand Shadow Puppet Recognition" was accepted at IEEE/CVF ICCV Workshops (WCCA 2025 - A* conference), co-authored with Syed Rifat Raiyan & Asst. Prof. Sabbir Ahmed.
Mentored 100+ students as a Teaching Assistant (TA) at MasterCourse since 2025. Secured 1st position in its 16-week Data Science training program. I review capstone projects, portfolios, and help students with technical interview prep.
I enjoy applying technical ideas to solve practical problems. Built ReplyMind, an AI-powered Chrome Extension for LinkedIn and X engagement, growing it to 1,000+ active users, a 4.9/5 rating, two "2nd Product of the Day" awards on Product Hunt, and 500+ paid users through AppSumo.
Open to connecting with people working on AI products, ML infrastructure, and product-led growth. Especially interested in teams building or scaling AI systems.
