👤 About
DEMS shaped everything I am today. I still remember Mr. Hasan's Computer Science class in Class X — that's where I caught the programming bug. After DEMS I went on to complete my BSc in Computer Science from IUT, then an MSc from Stanford. Now at Google I work on large-scale distributed systems. I give back by mentoring current DEMS students and sponsoring the school's Computer Lab upgrade fund.
