Summary
AI Engineer and researcher specializing in computer vision, NLP, and deep learning, with a track record of production-grade full-stack systems and rigorous, reproducible ML studies. I train and evaluate models end to end (88.22% test Dice for brain-tumor segmentation, 97.40% accuracy for AI-text detection, 0.9376 macro-F1 across a 27-run NLP benchmark) and ship systems that run on zero-cost cloud infrastructure. My research advances biometric privacy under generative editing. I optimize for evidence over polish, reporting honest ceilings and failure modes alongside headline metrics.

Engineering & Research Experience
AI Researcher (Biometric Privacy)
2026Independent Research · BRAC University
- ▸Designed Obscrowd, a privacy framework for multi-portrait biometric unlinkability under generative editing, protecting every detected face in a group image with a single imperceptible, mask-guided perturbation.
- ▸Engineered a teacher-student-refinement pipeline: a diffusion-guided teacher, a lightweight student generator for efficient deployment, and an inference-time refinement stage within a bounded perceptual budget.
- ▸Reduced face-recognition similarity from 0.957 to 0.138 after generative edits while keeping the protected image visually faithful, training against a face-recognition ensemble and differentiable editing attacks.
Machine Learning Engineer (Medical Imaging)
2026Brain Tumor Segmentation & Classification
- ▸Implemented and compared U-Net, Attention U-Net, and three CNN classifiers (DenseNet-121, EfficientNet-B0, MobileNetV2) on the BRISC 2025 MRI dataset in PyTorch.
- ▸Achieved 88.22% test Dice, 79.74% mIoU, and 99.61% pixel accuracy for segmentation, and 97.50% four-class classification accuracy on 860 unseen samples.
- ▸Ran a 20-configuration hyperparameter study and demonstrated that separate task-specific training outperforms joint multi-task learning by ~5 points, informing the deployment recommendation.
NLP Engineer
2025 – 2026News Classification & AI-Text Detection
- ▸Built a reproducible benchmark of 27 experiments (9 architectures x 3 preprocessing pipelines) on 102k news headlines, reaching 0.9376 macro-F1 with BERT-Base and 0.9214 with a Bi-GRU trained in 19 seconds.
- ▸Engineered 28 stylometric features with mRMR and RFE selection for AI-generated text detection, reaching 97.40% accuracy on HC3 with Random Forest and quantifying a severe cross-generator generalization gap.
- ▸Identified that BERT's WordPiece tokenizer inverts the preprocessing rules that hold for classical models, a model-specific insight for practitioners.
Full-Stack Engineer
2025 – 2026BRACU Vault · Polaris · E-GamerHub
- ▸Built BRACU Vault, a verified study-archive platform, on Cloudflare's free tier (Workers + Hono, D1, R2, Clerk) with a data-driven six-role RBAC model and university-email-gated uploads.
- ▸Engineered Polaris, an AI academic strategist using Gemini structured-JSON output, RAG over a curated knowledge base, and a transparent logistic-regression probability model, with graceful no-API-key fallback.
- ▸Developed E-GamerHub, a MERN social platform with Socket.IO real-time messaging, RBAC moderation, and Groq Llama 3 natural-language player search.

- ▸VSFSck file-system consistency checker (superblock, bitmaps, inode cross-checks)
- ▸OpenGL games from primitives (midpoint line algorithm, AABB collision)
- ▸Software quality prediction ML study (honest 0.4418 F1 ceiling reported)
