About
Born and raised in Dhaka, I've spent most of my life tinkering with technology, games, and musical instruments. That curiosity now shapes how I build software — I focus on the intersection of AI and full-stack development, with an emphasis on efficiency and sustainable design. Outside of engineering, I'm equally invested in creative pursuits: designing well-crafted websites, training AI models, and gaming (you'll find the games that define me below). And yes — I have two very cute cats. Here's a picture of them.
Games That Define Me
A linear third-person shooter following the cynical ex-cop Max Payne through Brazil. I love this game due to its slow-motion physics, detailed gunplay, and intense story.
An open-world action game following the rebellious Delsin Rowe liberating Seattle. I love this game due to its fluid parkour, gorgeous neon effects, and satisfying powers.
A turn-based Japanese RPG following Joker and his high school Phantom Thieves. I love this game due to its stylish aesthetic, addictive social loop, and deep strategy.
An isometric RPG following a shattered detective rebuilding his worldview through the 24 conflicting voices in his head. I love this game due to its raw exploration of political existentialism, tragic humanism, and embracing failure.
