§ 01 - About

A mechanical engineer working across commercial territory - not by drift, but because the most interesting problems sit at the boundary between how something works and whether it should exist at all.

I started my career at BanglaCAT as a Management Trainee Officer, managing business accounts for some of Bangladesh's most prominent organizations and supporting their energy-generation operations.

I later moved to BJIT's Mechanical Department as an external R&D engineer, working with clients across Northern Europe, the USA, and Japan - gaining direct exposure to global R&D operations and cross-border stakeholder management.

Alongside this, I've maintained professional connections across the automobile, HVAC, and manufacturing industries, and taken on independent technology and business consulting work.

My objective now is to bring these threads together - technical depth and business judgment - to work at the interface of business and technology, with particular focus on emerging fields: EV, clean energy, and additive manufacturing.
