IT Systems Analyst · Cybersecurity & AI Researcher
Ten years bridging Information Technology and business strategy — now advancing a PhD in Cyber Engineering while researching AI‑driven threat detection, secure systems, and data‑informed decision making.
About
I'm a technology and business professional with five years of hands‑on experience across Information Technology and Data. My academic foundation — a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from the National University of Bangladesh, plus a Google Data Analytics Diploma — gave way to an MBA in Management Information Systems at International American University in Los Angeles, where I learned to pair technical depth with strategic management thinking.
I'm now pursuing a Ph.D. in Information Technology with a major in Cyber Engineering, and my current research sits at the intersection of Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Business Informatics, and the broader economics of IT. Professionally, that trajectory has taken me from database administration and financial advisory work to project management and, most recently, systems analysis at Mainwins Inc.
I hold professional memberships with IEEE and ACM, serve on the editorial board of the Journal of Computer Science and Technology Studies, and am an Associate Member of Human Rights in Bangladesh — reflecting a belief that technology, used with care, is a genuine force for positive change.
