What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a dynamic role in the digital information ecosystem where I can use fact-checking, OSINT, AI tools, and journalism to combat disinformation, strengthen editorial accuracy, and build community digital resilience.

I'm currently a Fact-Checking Fellow and Regional Coordinator at The Dissent, supporting real-time 2026 election verification from Dhaka and leading regional coordination in Rajshahi through data scraping, research, and fact-checking.

I've produced evidence-based debunking videos for Rumor Scanner, written more than 60 video reports on governance and social issues at SkyBangla, and managed news desk operations and field reporting at Radio Padma. My work turns complex information into accurate, accessible stories while using open-source data to corroborate findings.

I'm building on my Mass Communication and Journalism studies with advanced training in OSINT, geolocation, source tracing, visual forensics, AI-powered verification, media literacy, and digital safety to help counter disinformation and strengthen public digital resilience.
