About Me

Hello! I’m originally from Dhaka, the vibrant capital city of Bangladesh. I came to the US in 2015 in pursuit of my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and lived in West Michigan before moving to Northern Virginia in 2022.

I am currently a Data Analyst II at Shift Digital in the Data Operations and Analytics team, where I leverage data-driven solutions for enterprise clients. I graduated with a Master’s of Science in Data Science & Analytics from Georgetown University in 2025. My passion lies in leveraging tailored data and algorithms to solve intricate business problems and communicating complex insights to non-technical stakeholders.

I love spending time in charming cafes and exploring new cuisines. During my downtime I enjoy reading, painting and watching movies/TV shows.
