About Me

Hi there, my name is Anik Islam Pantha.

I graduated from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering. I have completed my undergraduate study with a CGPA of 3.54 out of 4.00. In my final four semesters, I maintained an average CGPA of 3.70, with an even higher average of 3.78 in the last two semesters. Currently, I am employed as a Software Engineer at CodeCrafters International Ltd. Alongside my job, I am actively engaged in several research projects, including one focused on forecasting dengue outbreaks and another on analyzing stock price trends.
