I specialize in Microsoft UX Design, having completed a professional certification that deepened my knowledge of user experience (UX) principles, including user research, wireframing, prototyping, visual design, and accessibility. My background in UX is not only rooted in formal education at Simon Fraser University (SFU), where I pursued it as a minor, but also in my journey as an autodidact. I am passionate about continuously seeking knowledge from diverse resources, both within and beyond traditional academia. This dual approach to learning allows me to stay updated on the latest UX trends, innovations, and design practices, making me proficient in designing intuitive, accessible, and user-centered digital experiences. Through self-directed learning, I have also developed a deeper understanding of how AI can enhance design creativity and efficiency, further refining my ability to deliver impactful UX solutions. Creative pursuit is my forte.

I specialize in the understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs) and their applications. My knowledge extends to the fundamental principles of LLMs, including their architecture, training processes, and how they generate and interpret human-like text. I am well-versed in the various applications of LLMs, such as natural language understanding, text generation, and conversational AI. This includes exploring their use in diverse fields like customer support, content creation, and data analysis.

I recently earned a certification in Agile Project Management using Atlassian Jira through Coursera, aligning perfectly with my skillset as a generalist who thrives across multiple disciplines including design, research, coding, and management. This course deepened my understanding of agile frameworks such as Scrum and Kanban, equipping me with the skills to effectively manage cross-functional teams and projects. By mastering Jira, I am now able to oversee projects from ideation to execution, ensuring seamless collaboration and task delegation while maintaining a holistic approach to problem-solving across all stages of development.

As part of The Hour of Code initiative by Code.org, I participated in a series of coding challenges aimed at introducing the foundational principles of computer science. Within an hour, I successfully solved various programming tasks designed to test problem-solving skills, logic, and coding efficiency. The challenges involved understanding basic algorithms, constructing logical statements, and applying computational thinking to arrive at solutions.

I successfully completed The Fundamentals of Digital Marketing certification, a comprehensive course offered by Google Digital Garage, on January 25, 2018. This certification demonstrates my proficiency in essential digital marketing concepts, including SEO, SEM, and social media strategy.

Through this program, I gained a deep understanding of how to design and implement effective digital marketing campaigns, leveraging tools like Google Analytics to measure and optimize performance. The course covered a variety of topics, from building an online presence to creating and managing paid advertising campaigns, which equipped me with the necessary skills to drive engagement, generate leads, and boost brand visibility.

I secured third place out of 93 participants in the StormHacks Hackathon with our HubSFU, an app designed to improve the student experience at Simon Fraser University (SFU). As part of a dedicated team DaisySoft, I helped create a platform that addresses key challenges faced by students, providing them with a centralized hub for essential resources, event management, and academic tools. The app emphasized a user-centric design approach, focusing on seamless usability to ensure students could easily interact with the platform. Through iterative processes, including wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing, we honed the interface to meet real student needs. The success of this project not only highlights my skills in UX design and web development but also my ability to work effectively in a team, using creative problem-solving to deliver innovative solutions that positively impact users.

In 2018, I took the initiative to establish the coding club at my school, Maple Leaf International School. I led the club with the mission of teaching students from grades 6 to 9 the fundamentals of coding and programming. My focus was to help them understand and apply core programming concepts, with a curriculum that spanned various technologies and languages, including web development, Python, C++, and data structures and algorithms (DSA).

Through hands-on workshops and sessions, I guided the students in building practical projects, fostering a strong interest in coding and technology. My aim was to create a learning environment where younger students could explore their interest in programming, laying a foundation for their future in the digital world.

In November 2015, I was honored with a certificate of recognition for my contributions to promoting quality education for all. This award was presented by the JAAGO Foundation and Volunteer for Bangladesh as part of their efforts to ensure equitable access to education. The certificate acknowledges my dedication to volunteerism and highlights my role in advocating for universal education. My efforts during this period were aligned with supporting underserved communities, aiming to provide every child with the opportunity to learn and grow in a supportive educational environment. The experience not only reinforced my belief in education as a fundamental right but also drove me to continue advocating for initiatives that promote learning and development for all, irrespective of socioeconomic status.
