About

Profile

I work at the intersection of telecommunications infrastructure, electrical engineering and software development. As Manager (Technical) at BTCL, I combine technical management with hands-on work on GPON access networks and contribute to technology solutions developed for BTCL’s internal operations. Since 2021, I have also built full-stack web applications, from front-end design to database architecture. Grounded in more than a decade of electronics and hardware programming, and in competition robotics since 2014, I bring a hands-on, practical approach to my work.

Comparative Analysis of Control Techniques for High-Speed Mechatronic Systems

My B.Sc. thesis at DUET: a simulation study comparing five feedback control techniques for high-speed nanopositioning systems, an atomic force microscope (AFM) and a piezoelectric tube scanner (PZT). We designed and tuned each controller in MATLAB and Simulink, then compared their stability, speed, damping and tracking to find the best controller for each system.
