Born in Malaysia to Bangladeshi parents, I moved to the United States at 10, beginning a journey shaped by curiosity, adaptability, and connection.
I graduated from NJIT in May 2025 and became a published ACM author as an undergraduate. My experience spans research, IT, business operations, data analytics, UX/UI, and social work in Tanzania.
Now, I work at UPS as a Business Architect co-op, learning to think deeply, build thoughtfully, and leave things better than I found them.
1. Curious by default.
2. Interfaces should feel human (not like tax forms).
3. Calm over clever.
4. Always building, always learning.
5. Horror, thrillers, mysteries — and chicken wings.
6. Therapy: hiking, archery, biking, skateboarding.
7. Languages: Bangla, Hindi, Urdu, Malay, English
8. Reset: long drives, long walks, and travel.
9. Creativity through photography and writing.
10. Hot cocoa > coffee
11. JDM cars. No explanation needed.
12. "Fiha khair" mentality.

I joined UPS at an exciting time as the company began transforming its customer acquisition and onboarding processes through the COAX initiative, covering 16 stages and over 200 activities to simplify workflows and reduce manual work.
I'm contributing to several workstreams, from developing bot templates and business rules for AI-powered contract data extraction to analyzing consolidated payment plan (CPP) processes for automation opportunities.
Along the way, I'm learning from great mentors while taking ownership, sharing ideas, and having the honor to make an impact.

Amader Kobita (Our Poetry) is a project close to my heart.
I spent weeks on this website to create a little home for some memories I've collected over the years; of souls, cars, places, and little moments that remind me to appreciate the world around me.
So, have a look around. Take your time, wander a little, and see the world through my lens.
