# Experience

# Research Experience

2021 - 2024

Conducted an independent research on Abroma augustum plant against water-logging and academic research on optimized growth in Rauvolfia tetraphylla by testing different Auxin hormone concentrations. Gained hands-on experience with soil preparation, planting, hormone application, sample collection, and laboratory testing while following strict protocols. Assisted professors with literature reviews, performed lab experiments, wrote a thesis and contributed to herbarium specimen evaluation and data analyses as part of academic studies.

# Technological Experience

Experienced Linux user since 2014 with expertise in Command Line Interface (CLI), Networking, Subnetting, Iptables and Web Designing (HTML, CSS, JS). Proficient in Shell Scripting(made a static site generator), semi-proficient in Python, and familiar with C/C++. Skilled in Statistical analysis using Excel and Data Visualization with Python's Matplotlib module. Proficient in various software tools, including Microsoft Office Suite, LibreOffice, Git, R Studio, VIM, BioPython. Comfortable with IoT devices such as RaspberryPi, Arduino, Esp8266 and other single-board computers, with additional skills in transcription, copywriting, article writing and relatively fast typing.

# Networking & Firewall Management

Worked on SoHo firewall setup using iptables and advanced tools like tc for traffic control of packets.

# Router Boards

Have hands-on experience with reputable router boards such as TP-Link, D-Link, Cudy + accessing router shells through UART and DMSC CLI management in advanced router boards.

# Android Analysis

Android being based off of Linux kernel, gave me a huge advantage into exploring/getting to know the system better. My experience includes(but not limited to);

• Gained root shells on vulnerable armv7 devices using exploits that creates overflows on specific mediatek chipsets

• Dnscrypt proxy for secure DNSSEC requests to DNS services -> read here

• Shell scripts to emulate human-like browser navigation -> read here

# Website Designing

Can design both static and dynamic websites along with backend management, SQL/database management + firewall.

# Projects

# Static Site Generator(ssg)

Wrote a static site generator from scratch in shell script. SSG basically simplifies website creation for Linux/GNU users who are well versed in CLI. See the project source code here

# Theological CLI tools

Wrote 3 theology based CLI tools. These are;

• Quran - Read English translation of the Holy Quran from the terminal.

• Hadith - Read and search English translations from the 6 main books of hadith

• HisnulMuslim - Read the English translations of daily dua's and zikrs from your terminal

# Python IRC bot

Created a chatbot in Python programming language for irc protocol. This chatbot automates google search excerpts, shows weather status and more. The source code is availble here

# IoT Coding

These projects involve using IoT devices like Arduino, Esp dev boards, RaspberryPI for task automation

• Made a remote controlled WiFi off/on switch for ease of access for Old People. The project can be found here

• Made an automated system that monitors plant water level and sends data through email when water level is below threshold. The project can be found here

# Exam Websites

I made some small local websites in a short period of time for high school/college students to participate and take exams. I added features like automatic time countdown and used localstorage + javascript to implement anti-cheats.

# Custom Vim Color-schemes

Made some modifications to vim color-schemes. The projects can be found here and here

# Awards

- National Science and Technology Awards (2022)

The most prestigious fellowship awarded by The Ministry of Science and Technology, Bangladesh.

- Chittagong University Scholarship Awardee (2017)

The University of Chittagong awarded this scholarship for achieving good results in the Higher Secondary Examination.
