Engineering Smart Systems, Autonomous Rovers & Human-Centric Software.

I'm a Computer Science student on the journey of turning ideas into functional hardware and software. Though there was once a time when my code was so delightfully confusing it left a client's lead developer scratching their head! 🙄

Currently, I'm pursuing my B.Sc in Computer Science & Engineering at United International University (UIU), where I served as the Co-Team Leader & Electrical System Sub-Team Lead on the Mars Rover Project at the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR).

Both of my parents are educators, and their lifelong passion inspired me to communicate knowledge openly. Beyond software development and rover engineering, I produce videos demystifying robotics, embedded hardware, and software concepts.

When away from terminals and soldering irons, I devour thriller novels, rewatch classic sitcoms, and spend time with my better half—who happily can't stand code! 😋

Academic Engagement in Private Universities of Bangladesh: Moderating the Relationship Between Psychological Capital and Student Performance

Authors: Sanjana Rahman Aurna, Md Yeahyea Hassan Siddique, Navid Ahmed, Tawsif Torabi

Drawing on Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this empirical study investigates the moderating mechanism of academic engagement between psychological capital (PsyCap: self-efficacy, optimism, resilience, hope) and academic performance across 200 undergraduate students in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Statistical evaluation via IBM SPSS ANOVA and correlation analysis establishes that PsyCap significantly predicts academic engagement, directly accelerating student performance with actionable frameworks for UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education).

2026 Systematic Review & Synthesis AI & Algorithmic Management

Algorithmic and AI-augmented Human Resource Management: A Review of Recruitment, Predictive Attrition Analytics, People Analytics, and Algorithmic Management Mechanisms

Authors: Sanjana Rahman, Md Yeahyea Hassan Siddique, Shaikh Navid Ahmed, Gazi Tawsif, Al-Araf Turabi

Organizations increasingly delegate candidate screening, workforce attrition forecasting, and algorithmic resource allocation to machine learning architectures. This survey provides a comprehensive synthesis comparing algorithmic mechanisms across operational performance, transparency, bias mitigation, and employee agency, identifying human-centered algorithmic governance as an imperative frontier in contemporary organizational engineering.
