Computer science undergraduate focused on NLP and full-stack development with practical project experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a B.Sc. Computer Science and Engineering student at BRAC University with hands-on experience in NLP, full-stack development, and embedded systems. I combine coursework and independent projects to deliver practical software and hardware solutions.
My undergraduate thesis developed an NLP-based personality trait classifier for Bangla political speeches using PyTorch and Hugging Face, and I evaluated the approach with standard performance metrics. I prioritize reproducible, metric-driven models and clear documentation.
I've built full-stack applications such as a Bangla forum and a flight booking system using Laravel, PHP, MySQL, and modern front-end tools, and created games and hardware projects involving Arduino and OpenGL. These projects demonstrate my ability to move from concept to deployment across multiple stacks.
I am proactive in learning and collaboration, evidenced by awards for academic excellence, participation in data science and leadership workshops, and volunteer work in extracurricular clubs. I seek roles where I can apply NLP and software engineering skills to real-world problems and continue growing technically.
