Awards
Champion-Line-Follower Robot Racing Competition [click for details]

An inter-university line-follower robot racing competition was held as a part of the International Conference on Communication & Information Technology (ICCIT) 2015. This event featured 25 teams from prestigious universities, where my team designed, developed, and programmed an autonomous robot capable of navigating a complex track with precision and speed. Our robot stood 1st out due to its advanced sensor integration, optimized control algorithms, and efficient circuit design, which enabled us to outperform all other teams and claim the championship title. This victory was a testament to our innovative approach to robotics and teamwork under competitive conditions. A glimpse of the practice session of the line-follower is visible at this video link.

Best Project-[click for details]

The award-winning project titled "Smart Street Light System in Mirpur Cantonment Area", was recognized as the best technical project at the "MIST Best Project Award-2018". This innovative project focused on enhancing energy efficiency and automation in street lighting within the Mirpur Cantonment area. The system utilized advanced sensors and smart control mechanisms to dynamically adjust lighting based on traffic flow and environmental conditions, significantly reducing energy consumption while ensuring optimal illumination. Winning this prestigious award highlighted the project's technical excellence and its potential for real-world applications in smart city infrastructure. The project was later acknowledged by the then Dhaka North City Corporation authority.

Projects
Funded Project-1
Digital Arsenal Management System for Military

In 2020, I developed the haBasic Flow-Kote Management SystemHardware setup for a Digital Arsenal (Kote) management system for the Bangladesh Army, which streamlined and secured the weapon inventory process. This system enabled efficient and reliable management of weapons, including rapid and secure issue and return processes, real-time weapon logging, and strong anti-forgery protections for improved arsenal security. My contributions included:
