I'm here to mentor you if you want!
As a PhD researcher in Information Systems Engineering at Concordia University, I have gained a wide range of high-level real-world expertise: technical research, collaboration, project management, stakeholder coordination, proctoring, event organization and management, mentoring, and so on. I have completed graduate-level coursework in Applied AI, Natural Language Understanding, and Statistical Approach to Quality as well as worked as Graduate Teaching Assistant. From my bachelor's to my PhD, I studied in three countries: Bangladesh, China, and Canada.
Academically, I have published more than 14 peer-reviewed papers and worked with international researchers from Canada, Singapore, Switzerland, the United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, China, Germany, and Jordan. Additionally, served as a peer reviewer for reputed journals and conferences. I have experience balancing academic work with part-time roles, including invigilation and other campus positions.
Beyond academics, I enjoy supporting students with:
- Career planning and goal setting
- Building strong CVs and résumés for specific roles
- Improving professional communication skills
- Preparing for interviews and networking strategically
- Identifying strengths, interests, and suitable career paths
- Developing confidence in both academic and workplace settings
My mentoring style is friendly, supportive, and practical. I love helping students discover their direction, whether they are exploring general academic interests or aiming for a very specific field such as engineering, technology, marketing, data-related roles, or research.
If you are looking for someone who can guide you in shaping your career story, improving your communication skills, or navigating student life and professional development, I would be happy to support you. Feel Free to knock!
Support my journey!
Behind every academic milestone lies a journey of curiosity, perseverance, sacrifice, and countless hours of learning.
As an international PhD researcher in Canada, I continue to pursue my passion for research, education, and sharing knowledge while navigating the challenges of building a meaningful life far from home.
My journey has not always followed a conventional path. From graduating with a CGPA below 3.0 in my bachelor's degree to eventually pursuing doctoral research in Canada, I have experienced my share of uncertainties, setbacks, and unexpected opportunities.
I shared this journey in my Bangla-language book, published in Bangladesh, hoping that my experiences might encourage others who feel their academic records or circumstances define the limits of their dreams.
I believe that knowledge, experiences, and stories become more meaningful when they are shared. That is why I am making my book freely available to anyone who wishes to read it.

If You'd Like to Support Me
If my book, research, writing, or personal journey has inspired you in any way, and you would like to support my continued learning and independent pursuits, you are welcome to make a small voluntary contribution.
Your generosity can help me access educational resources, explore new ideas, and continue sharing knowledge and experiences with others.
There is absolutely no obligation to contribute. My book is free for everyone, regardless of whether they choose to support me. Reading, sharing, or simply sending a kind word is equally meaningful.
Sometimes, the greatest encouragement comes from knowing that one's journey has touched another person's life.
