I am a PhD candidate at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, working at the intersection of cybersecurity, adversarial machine learning, and automotive security.

I am an introvert by nature, happiest when everything goes right, when I have a quiet space, a good cup of coffee and when I can occasionally disappear from everyone somewhere with a great view. Outside academia, I enjoy gaming, bug bounty hunting, travelling around New Zealand, exploring new places, and football.

I am also the Founder of VUWBSA (Victoria University of Wellington Bangladeshi Students’ Association), with a strong interest in building community and creating spaces where people can connect and support one another.

My family means everything to me. I am deeply grateful to my parents for their constant support, sacrifices, and encouragement throughout my journey. My wife is also one of the most important people in my life and has been a constant source of support, patience, and motivation.

A die-hard Liverpool FC supporter since 2005. Through every high and low — You’ll Never Walk Alone.

Forever Diogo Jota — 20. ❤️

Favourite place: Except the great place Maru, somewhere with water, peace, coffee, and fewer notifications.
