About

Building things people actually use

I studied Electrical & Electronic Engineering at Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology before moving into startups. I now run ResearchBuddy AI, an AI-powered research lab platform live in 20 countries — run profitably and fully bootstrapped, with no outside investment to date.

  • Official Crossref member (DOI prefix 10.66645)
  • ICT Division Innovation Grant, Government of Bangladesh
  • First institutional DOI partner: Port City International University
  • Currently leading a $200,000 pre-seed raise

In my free time, I build the AI automation workflows — mostly in n8n — that keep the company running lean: lead capture, follow-ups, KPI tracking, accounting. I like building the unglamorous systems that let a small team operate like a much bigger one.
