What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining .NET/full-stack development with content or data responsibilities at a collaborative company where I can learn, contribute, and drive measurable engagement.

I am a final-year Computer Science and Engineering student with 2.5 years of professional experience combining .NET full-stack development skills and football content management. I blend programming expertise in C, C#, Java, JavaScript, PHP, and SQL with hands-on experience in content strategy and social media.

At Transfermarkt GmbH & Co. KG, I curated engaging football content focused on the Bangladeshi scene, led IT initiatives to improve platform functionality, and managed the platform’s social presence to ensure consistent brand voice and audience engagement.

As a freelance contributor for Appen, I worked on AI training and data annotation projects, performed search engine evaluation and linguistic analysis, and strengthened my data-handling skills using tools like SPSS, Power BI, and advanced Excel functions.

I have published a research paper on software development methodologies, contributed to measurable social campaigns (20% engagement increase), hold a Microsoft Office Specialist certification, and seek opportunities to apply my technical and content experience to build impactful digital products.
