Currently working as senior Fact-checker at Boom Bangladesh. I work to prevent the spread of false information. This is the reason why I have gained skills on OSINT & SOCMINT.

I also received training from the International Fact Checking Network (IFCN) by BOOM, AFP Digital Investigation Techniques, DW Akademie's Misinformation & Fact-checking, Digital Sherlock from Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) by Atlantic Council, Fojo Media Institute's Investigative Journalism courses.

Worked as freelance journalist, feature writer, translator. Amateur Bangla Wikipedian, Google local guide contributor and HAM operator.

I have developed a search engine using Google's Programmable Search Engine Tool to search for Bengali language fact-checking articles only. Can be used from the link: tinyurl.com/BengaliFC

I Also developed OSINT and a large database of investigative journalism toolset, you can take a look at tinyurl.com/OSINTtool
