Biography
I am actively looking for full time software engineering opportunities starting June 2024.
Hi! I am Tanjim. Welcome to my personal website.
I completed my undergrad from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in Computer Science in Engineering. Joined Chaldal (Y Combinator 2015) before graduation. Worked there as a Software Engineer as part of the Operations Team for a year and a half. My work focused on building the Chaldal Vegetable Network (CDVN) platform and making various improvements to the Mapping project. I had the opportunity to be introduced to the functional programming paradigm. The tech stack that I worked with included F#, C#, .NET, SQL Server, Visual Studio, and Azure DevOps.
Currently, I am enrolled in the Masters in Computer Science program at Colorado State University with an expected graduation date of May 2024. I intend to join the software industry after my graduation to make meaningful contributions and advance my career as a competent software engineer.

Work Experience
- As a TA for the CS 457: Computer Networks And The Internet and CS 356: Systems Security courses,Conducted help desk sessions, addressed student inquiries, provided technical support and evaluated lab assignments and exam scripts.
- Developed the entire backend of CDVN (Chaldal Vegetable Network) in F# as part of a two-person team,contributing to a 66% increase in order volume, an 81% growth in vegetables served, and a 113% boost in revenue
- Engineered an Operation Center Sorting Algorithm for Chaldal Vegetable Network, streamlining the entire perishable product flow inside a warehouse
- Enhanced the Open Street Map data import process, enabling bulk updates with zero SQL Server database downtime
- Developed a Geocoding API utilizing Apache Lucene for precisely locating customer buildings through search engine indexing
- Implemented a Reverse Geocoding API, handling an average of 30k daily requests and peaks of 50k, to convert latitude-longitude data into customer addresses
- Worked with Razor and Xamarin Forms Pages to add validation constrains and integrate API endpoints
- Analyzed anomalous API usage on Azure Portal using Kusto Query Language (KQL) and made necessary improvements based on the observations
- Pulled out common code between CDVN and Mapping codebase and published as a .nuget package to be referenced in other projects
- Created wiki documentation for feature requests and existing APIs
- General cleanup of CDVN and Mapping codebase: enforced standard naming for SQL Stored Procedures, code cleanup and authentication-authorization system overhaul
- Review pull requests in CDVN and Mapping projects
- Created an automation tool for adding Liquibase scripts as a standalone .exe file
- Solved Euler Project problems on HackerRank leveraging basic F# syntax and data structures

Research Experience
- Evalued the effectiveness of Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Llama 2 in identifying and classifying scientific claims in COVID-19 tweets using various prompt engineering techniques
- Supervisor: Professor Dr. Hossein Shirazi
- Created an access control system prototype for Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices based on trust that eliminates the Cryptographic requirements
- The Trust Management System (TMS) is responsible for monitoring and managing trust indicators as well as evaluating trust levels of different entities and answering queries for entity trust. TMS takes into account current indicator values and previous history of trust to determine trust value of a device.
- Supervisor: Professor Dr. Indrajit Ray
- Our work on Rootkit Behavioral Analysis was published in the monthly magazine of Bangladesh Government’s e-Government Computer Incident Response Team (BGD e-GOV CIRT), currently serving as the National CIRT of Bangladesh. (August 2021 Edition).
