Journey

How I arrived in data science

My journey began in secondary school in Bangladesh, continued through international study, and eventually led me into data science and full-stack ML systems.

I grew up in Bangladesh, where education is strongly linked to resilience and hard work. After completing SSC (Secondary School) and HSC (Higher Secondary School), I prepared for National University entrance while exploring where I fit between engineering, computing, and applied problem-solving.

In 2018, I started an on-campus Software Engineering journey in China. When COVID-19 disrupted everything, I pivoted to an online BEng in Software Engineering from 2020 to 2022 instead of stopping.

Professionally, I worked in production and industrial engineering roles where I coordinated multiple departments like sample, admin and production as a senior executive, and managed communication with Mandarin-speaking stakeholders across several international companies in Bangladesh.

However, I chose data science because it blends structured thinking, coding, and impact. It lets me go from raw data and messy requirements to models, dashboards, and decisions that actually help people.

Recently, I have completed my MSc in Data Science at the University of Chester in the UK. Alongside coursework, I build projects that look like real products rather than one-off assignments that can stand up in a viva or in a real meeting.

Product-style academic work

I build projects as if a real team would use them: clear endpoints, logging, admin views, and student-friendly interfaces.

Reproducible pipelines

Version-locked environments, SQLite with SQLAlchemy schemas, seeded experiments, and documented evaluation (AUROC, AUPRC, Brier, calibration plots).

Human-centred dashboards

I focus on how staff and students will interpret a “risk score” or alert, not just how strong the ROC curve looks.
