Originally from Dhaka, Bangladesh, he moved to the US for his education, eventually graduating with degrees in computer science and mathematics.

My goal has always been to be like Elon Musk and bet on myself. I grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and I moved to the US in 2017 for my undergrad.
When ChatGPT came out, I realized the world was shifting, and I wanted to upskill in AI. So, in 2024, I left traditional software engineering to focus on building AI skills.
To stay relevant, people should be lifelong learners and not scared of what's happening in the world. We should embrace change and try to upskill.
Now, I work as a contractor for an AI-driven company and have more free time to build this skillset.
