I am a computer engineering major with a minor in animation and 3D Modelling. I always try to instill some creative whimsy into whatever technical challenge I take on to connect with people through my works. I am passionate about working in human-centred design and technology.
Most of the projects I shared here started from my undergraduate classroom. Since I graduated in 2020, I picked up a variety of skills ranging from Tangible Design to Data Science applications all the while under constant lockdowns due to the covid-19 pandemic. This gave me the opportunity to present these works now through the skills I developed. I am always taking on new projects and challenges and I hope to expand the scope of this website to enable interaction with people who share the same interests.
I may let my imagination run wild, but I ground them with real-world interactions and stories of people. I empathize and dream of a better world.
And then I invent.
🤖 Inventor & Robotics Engineer | Human-Centered Design Advocate 🌟
🔍 Reimagining the Future of Interaction Design
👩💻Exploring human-machine interaction through immerging new media technologies and human-centered design principles.
🔧 Crafting Immersive Experiences
With a flair for innovation, I specialize in designing and building robots, animatronics, and wearable technology products that redefine the boundaries of experiential design and Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs). From interactive installations to unforgettable experiences, it is my job to bring storyboards to life in tangible forms.
💡 Innovating at the Intersection of Tech & Humanity
Fueled by a passion for human-centered design, I pursued graduate studies in the field of HCI and creative technology to deepen my understanding of how technology can empower and enrich lives. My work in the emerging fields of AI and Machine Learning technologies has further fueled my commitment to crafting solutions that prioritize human needs and experiences.
🌱 Empowering Communities Through Education
As an advocate for accessibility in technology, I am deeply involved in STEM and creative computing education initiatives aimed at fostering inclusivity and empowering underrepresented communities. By designing and building the next generation of interactive technologies, I am dedicated to creating access to technology for all.

And then I invent.
I have seen firsthand how lack of access can divide us. Access to information, technology, education, and essential resources define the struggles and achievements of communities. That is why I believe in creating tools and interventions that can bridge gaps between communities and the resources that can create more choices for them. In my experience, working towards these goals requires learning multidisciplinary methods, collaborating with diverse teams, some trials, and a lot of errors before I can see meaningful results. Not only do I love coming up with out-of-the-box concepts, but I also want to study human behaviors and diverse communities to generate inclusive solutions. Which is why I want to work in human-centered design and tangible technology domains.
I have a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering from American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB), and a minor in 3D Modelling and Animation. I specialized in Robotics and Machine Learning, which I applied towards working in the industry with product design and innovation research for social development projects. I am currently pursuing graduate studies in the Integrated Design & Media (IDM) MS program at New York University (NYU) Tandon School of Engineering, where I also work as a research assistant in creating physical computing resources.
I always consider giving back to the community through outreach programs part of my responsibility as a technologist. I was an instructor for two years teaching programming and robotics basics to high school students as part of an outreach initiative from my university. I am also passionate about undertaking initiatives to support women in STEM fields, having faced challenges myself as a female engineer in the tech industry.
