Since my early youth, I was passionate in mathematics and computer programming and loved to attend related competitions to evaluate and sharpen my skills on these. C was the first programming language that I learnt right after completing my secondary education in Rajshahi, Bangladesh. I developed a simple tic-tac-toe game using Turbo C compiler in 2004.

At that time, I learned that nationwide mathematical Olympiad was going to be held in Bangladesh and registered as a participant in that. I continued participating in various regional and national math and programming Olympiads. I got selected for National Math Camp in Dhaka, Bangladesh twice as a recognition of my performance in math Olympiads. These camps took place in order to select members of Bangladesh Math team for participating in International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) held annually.

In 2007, Bangladesh participated in Asian-Pacific Mathematical Olympiad (APMO) for the first time. I participated in this prestigious math Olympiad on that year and won bronze medal. Since Bangladesh was an associate nation, the solution scripts were evaluated locally in that year. As a new country in world-wide math Olympiad journey, it was one of the stepping-stones for Bangladesh. By the way, Bangladesh started participating in IMO since 2005 and they are doing really great in recent years in it.

I developed my programming skills on C and C++ over time which made me one of the top 5 performers among 180 students in Computer Programming course (both theory and lab) in the very first semester of my undergraduate study. As an electrical engineer, I naturally became adept in MATLAB by doing various assignments on numerical analysis, signal processing and physics using it. Also, through some self-projects, I have learned programming and building circuits with micro-controller.

After graduation from BUET, I have worked for 7 years in Bangladesh in three different companies, in software and telecommunications sectors. I have grown expertise on Java and android development during my tenure in Bangladesh subsidiary of Samsung Electronics (2012-2015), known as Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh (SRBD). I obtained 'Advanced' rank in computer programming (software certificate test) in SRBD as a recognition of my programming skill in solving problems. Later, I switched to telecommunications sector and worked in two companies (SSD-Tech for 1 year and BTCL for 3 years). The skill-set that I developed by working in these companies were MySQL, IP networking, routing, switching, fiber-optic transmission and project management.
