About Me
I am a PhD student at the CS Dept. of George Mason University while serving as a graduate teaching assistant for CS310 Data Structures and CS475 Concurrent & Distributed Systems.
My research interests are Applied Cryptography, Blockchain, Distributed Systems, and Security & Privacy. I am currently co-advised by Dr. Foteini Baldimtsi and Dr. Giuseppe Ateniese. My primary focus is on strengthening the privacy of our instant messaging services.
Before joining academia, I used to craft scalable, distributed, and enterprise-grade products that solved real-world problems for millions of users. My contributions are battle-tested and I managed cross-functional teams. I have 5+ years of Software Engineering experience in the FinTech industry.
I did my undergrad at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology. My thesis was supervised by Dr. Md Sadek Ferdous. He has been a true inspiration in my research journey.
