About 

I am an ambitious and passionate architect and creative thinker with a sincere commitment to integrating architectural design and innovation into the fabric of daily life. Drawing inspiration from diverse communities, I am dedicated to influencing the future of our built environment through visionary and thoughtful designs. I led the damage assessment surveys and design works in a recent volunteer project for flood rehabilitation in Khagrachari, Bangladesh.

In addition to my profession, I enjoy travelling and playing sports, storywriting, playing guitar, and photography (especially Architectural Photography).
