About Me

My journey, passions, and what drives me

Hi I'm Tanzim. I'm a software engineer and aspiring researcher focused on Software Engineering, AI/ML Security, Blockchain, and LLM Systems, with a strong focus on DevOps, Backend Engineering, and AI Engineering. I'm especially interested in Domain Driven Design, System Architecture, and Software Architecture. I like work that blends research with hands-on building.

I believe consistent effort compounds. I keep a daily learning routine, maintain learning logs, and try to apply new ideas to real projects. That habit helps me balance research collaborations with my full-time engineering role.

I completed my B.Sc in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology with a CGPA of 3.53/4.0. I earned a 3.86/4.0 GPA in Sessional Courses, the lab and project-based core of BUET's curriculum. I received the Dean's List Award and placed 2nd in the Bangla Handwritten Digits Recognition contest.

During undergrad, our project "Blockchain Based Ticketing Platform" was a finalist in the Blockchain Olympiad Bangladesh 2021 (BCOLBD 2021). I worked with Ataf Fazledin Ahamed and Md. Tanzim Azad Nishan to build a decentralized solution that addressed ticket fraud and scalping through smart contracts.

I work as a Software Development Engineer at IQVIA (NYSE: IQV), a Fortune 500 company and healthcare data analytics provider that serves 90% of the top pharmaceutical companies worldwide. At IQVIA, I build microservices that handle millions of patient records, add observability for critical data pipelines, design cloud-native solutions on AWS, and integrate LLM capabilities into clinical analytics dashboards for natural language querying and report generation.

In May 2025, I received the IQVIA Impact Program - Silver award for performance, critical issue resolution, and feature delivery.

I'm currently working on research projects related to Blockchain in Healthcare and LLM API Contract Analysis.

I collaborate with Dr. Akond Rahman (Auburn University, PASER group) on LLM API contracts and with Professor ASM Latiful Hoque (BUET), who supervised my undergraduate thesis, on blockchain technology.

I worked with the uReporter team on Bangladesh's first anonymous online reporting system for citizens to report social issues. The project received coverage from BBC Bengali, Saudi Gazette, and Global Voices. Our research on this work is under review at the ACM CSCW conference.

I tend to learn by chasing first principles. I draw inspiration from Claude Shannon and Richard Feynman, and from the distributed systems work of Leslie Lamport. I'm also influenced by early attention-mechanism research that reshaped modern AI.

I'm currently reading "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" and "Hands-On Large Language Models" by Jay Alammar. I'm also preparing for the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) and AWS Solution Architect Associate certifications. You can check out my learning resource recommendations here.

I grew up in Rajshahi and now live in Uttara, Dhaka.

I am an incoming PhD Student starting Fall 2026, and I'm excited to continue my academic journey in computer science while staying hands-on in software engineering and research.
