About
I've spent the past decade in Dhaka working in accounting and operations: bookkeeping, financial reporting, and internal compliance at a firm I co-founded with local partners. My career, my family, and my professional roots are all in Bangladesh.
In Fall 2026 I'm joining the University of Rochester Simon Business School for an MS in Accountancy, a STEM-designated graduate program focused on advanced study in financial accounting, audit, and analytics. My plan is to complete the program and bring that learning back to Bangladesh.
Outside of work I build small personal learning projects, study, and travel - 35 countries and counting.
