As a motivated and aspiring Textile Engineer, I am dedicated to leveraging my knowledge and skills to contribute to the dynamic and innovative field of textiles. Currently pursuing a B.Sc. in Textile Engineering at Bangladesh University of Textiles, I have consistently excelled in my studies, earning a merit scholarship for three consecutive years.

With a strong educational foundation, I am eager to apply my expertise and gain practical experience in the industry. I have engaged in various internships and professional experiences that have further shaped my skills and passion for the field.

As a Freelance Content Writer and SEO Specialist at Deftyled, I have been responsible for coordinating projects, meeting deadlines, and implementing search engine optimization strategies. Working collaboratively with cross-functional teams, I have successfully managed content and ensured its timely delivery.

During my apprenticeship in Social Media Marketing at Smartifier Academy, I demonstrated creativity in generating ideas to expand social media reach. I monitored industry trends and developed compelling content that resonated with target audiences. 

In parallel to my academic and professional pursuits, I have actively engaged in leadership and community initiatives. As the Director of the Bangladesh University of Textiles Youth Development Club, I have spearheaded sponsorship proposals and successfully organized the National Textile Olympiad 2023, a prominent event that attracted participation from 32 universities.

My dedication and passion for the textile industry have been recognized through various honors and awards. I am proud to have achieved the title of Champion in the AUST Sense Your Textile- Textile Business Case Study competition and secured the positions of 1st Runner-Up in TEXBIZ 2022, 1st Runner-Up in the HULT Prize, On Campus, 2020, and 2nd Runner-Up in TEXPRESS 2022.

Outside of my professional endeavors, I enjoy playing football and cricket, as well as indulging in reading and watching movies, which provide me with a balanced perspective and a constant source of inspiration.

I am now actively seeking internship opportunities in the field of textile engineering, where I can apply my knowledge, skills, and passion to contribute to the growth and success of an organization. If you are looking for a motivated and dedicated intern with a strong academic background and diverse experiences, I would be thrilled to connect and explore potential collaborations.
