01 / about
A career spent keeping networks running
I'm a Senior Network Engineer at Cloudflare. Before joining Cloudflare, I was a Senior Network Engineer at NTT Ltd. Prior to that I worked at APNIC as a Senior Network Analyst, responsible for the development and delivery of technical training to the APNIC community, working closely with network operating members across the Asia Pacific region, and maintaining the APNIC Training Lab.
I've worked for several organisations spanning IXPs, ISPs, and financial institutes, gaining strong knowledge of — and operational experience in — building and deploying scalable, reliable network infrastructure.
I'm a founding member of bdCERT (Bangladesh Computer Emergency Response Team) and bdNOG (Bangladesh Network Operators Group), and I'm an active speaker at international conferences including APRICOT, SANOG, PACNOG, IDNOG, and other regional NOGs and security conferences.
