BACKGROUND

I'm presently pursuing my Master's in Expanded Media at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. Prior to this, I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Khulna University, and worked for the last four years on Upwork, as a Freelance Game Developer. In the past, my dedication and consistent high client satisfaction helped me earn the prestigious Top Rated Plus badge on the platform.

As a game developer, I enjoy bridging the lines between creativity and technology to create immersive and engaging experiences for the players. Apart from that Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality development also deeply fascinates me, as they open a new horizon in front of us to explore.
