About Me
My Journey
I am an entrepreneur with a problem-solving mindset, passionate about robotics and IoT innovation. With over 4 years of hands-on experience in microcontrollers and robotics, I've built a reputation for turning complex technical challenges into practical solutions.
Noticing a significant gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, I founded Bots Bangla to bridge this divide through hands-on experience and innovative services. Our goal is to transform visionary ideas into tangible, working solutions.
As the founder of Bots Bangla, I've led the development of IoT systems and robotics products while fostering the next generation of engineers. Through official partnerships with DRMC and St. Joseph colleges, I've organized and led multiple robotics events, contributing to Bangladesh's growing tech ecosystem.
At Bots Bangla, we specialise in turning complex concepts into practical, real-world applications, empowering students and professionals to excel in technology-driven fields. I have trained more than 100 students on microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators, as well as working on prototyping.
My aspiration is to make a significant impact through technology, breaking perceived limitations and demonstrating the ability to achieve what others may not. I thrive on challenges and am always willing to take calculated risks to push the boundaries of innovation.
The potential for learning and growth in this field is limitless, and I am committed to continuously expanding my knowledge and capabilities.

Recent Achievements
Alhamdulillah! After earning an Honourable Mention in the WROBD Virtual Future Innovators Contest, our team SAPH.Ai participated in the final round and won the World Robot Olympiad Bangladesh Open Championship 2025. We have qualified for the national camp where the real test begins.
Secured top positions at both Upazila (sub-district) and District-level science carnivals, demonstrating strong innovation and scientific aptitude. This achievement represents years of hard work, learning from failures, and never giving up on the dream.
Our school, Chandina Government Model Pilot High School, secured second place in the junior group at the 43rd Science and Technology Fair-2022. We presented our project titled "Dr.HC-06" at this prestigious event, organized by the District Administration, Comilla, and the National Museum of Science and Technology under the supervision of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Selected for the prestigious AIUB Photography Competition, where my work was featured in a photo exhibition. It was an enriching experience to participate in the prize-giving ceremony and connect with fellow photographers and art enthusiasts.
Organised and led an educational seminar to introduce microcontroller fundamentals to peers, enhancing technical knowledge in the community. This initiative aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical application.
Actively engaged in a wide range of extracurricular activities, including debating, quizzes, programming contests, various workshops, and club activities. This involvement has fostered well-rounded skills, teamwork, and leadership abilities.
Currently learning Robot Operating System (ROS), advanced programming and electronics, product development, 3D modeling, and other related skills to enhance my robotics development capabilities for advanced competitions and professional projects.

Latest entrepreneurial venture focusing on innovative tech solutions. Currently in development phase, exploring new market opportunities and building cutting-edge products.
An innovative venture aimed at digitalizing traditional honking systems using RF-enabled communication for driver interaction without sound pollution. Participated in a consultation session organized by iDEA (Innovation Design and Entrepreneurship Academy), where I met inspiring entrepreneurs and gained invaluable insights into market validation and product-market fit.
After thorough analysis and consultation feedback, I concluded that while the technology was innovative, the solution isn't currently feasible within the context of Bangladesh due to infrastructure and adoption challenges. This experience strengthened my commitment to practical problem-solving and adaptive thinking.
"Every pivot is a lesson. I remain enthusiastic about continuous effort, growth, and learning in my entrepreneurial journey."
Participated in a transformative 3-day residential bootcamp focused on entrepreneurship, covering the complete journey from problem definition to end-point solution development. Our team, Team Karigar, presented DrainSense - an IoT-based smart drainage monitoring system designed to prevent urban flooding through real-time blockage detection.
The bootcamp provided invaluable experience in pitching ideas, extensive learning opportunities, and connections with amazing entrepreneurs and mentors. It was an incredible experience that laid the foundation for our eventual victory at the ICT Innovation Awards 2025, Alhamdulillah!
