About me

I am a Clinical Nutritionist by profession, but my passion lies in photography – particularly capturing the beauty of butterflies and colorful flowers. Beyond photography, I have a deep love for trekking and camping, which fuel my adventurous spirit and further connect me to nature. Since 2015, I have been a dedicated volunteer editor across various Wikimedia projects, with a special focus on Bangla Wikisource, Bangla Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata. I love contributing to the growth of open knowledge, particularly in my native language. For any inquiries related to my volunteer work, please feel free to reach out. You can also track my contributions as a volunteer here.
