Highly motivated Computer Engineer with expertise in wireless communication, machine learning, and embedded systems. Proven experience in 5G networking, robotics, and AI-driven solutions for real-world applications. Passionate about developing scalable technologies that enhance connectivity and automation.

FPGA based Project (2023): FPGA Based Arcade Game.

- Designed and implemented a complex digital system on an FPGA for a Bomberman-style game, involving motion generation for the player character using a Block ROM memory generator. Used Verilog for programming.

- Developed a robust bomb state machine utilizing state variables and case-based switch statements to handle bomb initiation, explosion sequences, and post-explosion states within the game.

- Successfully integrated a Maximal Length 16-bit Linear Feedback Register module to achieve a pseudorandom sequence, enhancing the enemy's movement with random walk dynamics across the game arena.

Machine Learning and Robotic Project (2022): Realtime Crash and Pedestrian Detection system using Internet of Vehicle.

- Used two Raspberry Pi’s as client and server to prototype two mobile nodes.

- Created an ad hoc network with mosquito net server and 2.4 Ghz wifi network.

- Implemented tiny ML models of YOLO V5 to detect crashes and pedestrians from real time dash cam feed (computer vision) at client side for broadcast warning message.

- Used C and python programming language.

ABIS Over IP deployment (2020 -2021): Worked as assistant project manager to deploy ABIS over IP with E2E Tx QoS on 3827 sites all over Bangladesh.

- Fastest project implementation as we completed over 3000 sites in 3 months.

- Worked as wireless engineer to trouble shoot and monitor network performance.

- Managed and co-ordinated vendor team for on site configurations and hardware changes.

Mars Rover Project (2017 -2019): Spearheaded the development of a versatile Mars rover, showcasing expertise in both hardware and software, from Arduino-based programming to PCB design, circuitry, and integrated sensor systems.

- Designed Robotic Arm with 6 DOF using STM 32 micro-controller and raspberry pi for motor control and sensor detection.

- Developed 100 m LOS communication setup using 5Ghz IEEE 802.11 standard for real time video transfer and rover control.

- Designed custom PCB circuits for power control with buck-boost converter and implemented l298 motor controller.02
