Experienced working across newsrooms, digital marketing, public relations, and NGO-led research and communication. Newsroom pieces, reviews, and search-led content — edited as carefully as they are written.
The ceiling — encompassing red-teaming, specialist reviews and policy work — pays well and remains insulated from automation. The issue is that much of Bangladesh's capacity and training efforts are geared towards teaching simple, repetitive tasks.
Door locks, security cameras, LED lights — and a Dhaka firm quietly signing to wire smart-home tech into 10,000 homes in Tokyo.
Four countries had 5G at the time when this was written. BTRC was promising a national rollout by 2021. A reality check, minus the engineering jargon.
“A 25% tariff on small components can increase the price of a finished product by as much as 3%.” Tariffs, traced down to the capacitor.
A ban, a company, and a week of whiplash — untangled into a simple timeline.
Commissioned sustainability reporting for a national supplement.
A tax change explained in the terms that matter to the agencies and creators paying it.
Ten hours to Khulna became four. Tk 1,100 in tolls, five and a half minutes on the bridge, and a golden hour worth paying for.
Seven days with a Tk 155,000 laptop: a power button I couldn't find, a 22-hour battery claim, and a Netflix binge that ended at 30%.
A search-led buying guide — specs, prices and honest trade-offs for a local market.
Decades of infrastructure compressed into one readable arc.

Phones, laptops, speakers, monitors, graphics cards. Spec sheets are the easy part — the job is telling a reader on a real budget whether it's worth it.
I'm a writer, sub-editor and researcher living in Dhaka. I've written for Bangladeshi English-language dailies since 2017 — around a hundred bylined pieces across technology, business, culture, music and gaming desks, plus reported features built on original interviews.
