About
WHO I AM

I'm a Computer Science graduate from Independent University Bangladesh (2018–2023), currently a Research Intern at CCDS, IUB. My work sits at the collision point of quantum algorithms and practical machine learning.

On the quantum side, I design and benchmark Variational Quantum Classifiers and Quantum Kernel Methods using Qiskit and PennyLane. On the engineering side, I build production-grade async microservices with Python ASGI frameworks, PostgreSQL, and CI/CD pipelines.

I've co-authored papers at EMNLP and IEEE TENSYMP, placed 3rd at BlueQubit and FLIQ quantum hackathons in 2025, and hold a 97% score from The Coding School's Quantum Computing course. I've also solved 800+ competitive programming problems.

I believe quantum computing and AI together will reshape the infrastructure of civilization β€” and I intend to help build that future.
