About

I grew up in Bangladesh and have spent the last few years studying and researching across three countries: Bangladesh, India, and now the US. I am currently in Laramie finishing my master's, where I work as a teaching assistant and run experiments for my thesis on distributed multi-robot perception.

My interest in HPC systems came from seeing first-hand how much time researchers lose to poorly configured compute infrastructure. In January 2026 I attended the NSF-funded RMACC workshop at CU Boulder, a full week on the Alpine supercomputer cluster doing real sysadmin work with Warewulf, SLURM, GPFS, and XDMoD. Before that, I configured a four-node Ubuntu 24.04 LTS server cluster for the UW EECS department, connecting a Dell EMC ME4024 SAN via iSCSI and writing an admin guide for lab users with no prior Linux experience.

I am not a seasoned HPC admin yet, and I will be honest about that. But I pick things up quickly, I am comfortable in a terminal, and I genuinely care about the infrastructure side of research computing. I am hoping to grow into it through the ARCC internship.
