"What is this world without the joy of learning?"

It all started with mountains, rivers, and oceans, and a dire thirst to know more about them. Picking geology was never a coincidence. I fell in love with learning how past life shaped the planet, then dove into the physics of earthquakes and tectonic plates. Along the way I picked up scripting and algorithms, and realized I could combine all of it.

I joined the Bangladesh government briefly, working with the environment and climate change team where I dealt heavily with geospatial datasets. That is when I knew exactly where I belonged. I started pursuing geospatial science full-time, earned a fully funded scholarship to study in the USA, and shifted into hyperspectral remote sensing and advanced machine learning.

Then came Satelytics, a geospatial startup in Perrysburg, Ohio. I work with deep learning and computer vision here, and one of the biggest lessons has been: having hundreds of spectral bands is powerful, but knowing how to squeeze insights out of just three RGB bands through object-based detection can be equally impressive. I have developed algorithms built on YOLO and SAM foundational models, and I am still learning every day.

Somewhere in between, I picked up an MBA in Finance, purely out of curiosity about why the world revolves around it. Learning about money turned out to be genuinely fun. At the very least, I do my own taxes now!

Building AI tools and workflow automation is my hobby. I am also a part-time researcher, doing research on evenings and weekends. Yes, you can call me a workaholic.
