Professional Experience

From November to December 2023, I worked as a
consultant on Google’s Responsible AI project in
Indic languages (Project Niti), focusing on the
ethical and practical implications of AI deployment
in multilingual communities. My role involved
analyzing language models’ biases, evaluating their
effectiveness in Indic languages, and providing
insights to enhance AI fairness and accessibility.

In 2017, I worked as a Business Reporter at Daily
Samakal, where I covered financial trends,
corporate developments, and economic policies
in Bangladesh. Earlier, in 2014, I was a Feature
Writer for New Age Youth, focusing on social
issues, youth activism, and cultural narratives to
engage and inform young audiences.
