About Me

I’m an educator, engineer, and researcher based in New York City, but born and raised in Bangladesh. My work bridges cybersecurity, digital forensics, and data analytics, focusing on creating secure, human-centered systems and teaching how technology impacts real people.

I currently serve as a Data Analyst at the City University of New York (CUNY) Central Office and Lecturer in Computer Science at John Jay College, where I guide students through programming, software design, and ethical computing practices.

Beyond the classroom and code, I’m an avid traveler and photographer who’s driven across the U.S. exploring national parks — experiences that remind me how curiosity and perspective fuel both innovation and teaching.

At my core, I believe technology should remain ethical, purposeful, and human, blending logic with empathy in everything I build or teach.
