I am a Transport Planner and Travel Demand Modeller specializing in travel demand forecasting for data-scarce, mixed-traffic environments. Based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, I focus on integrating informal transport networks into traditional modelling frameworks. I currently work as a Junior Traffic and Transportation Planner at Nippon Koei Bangladesh Ltd., where I turn raw field data into practical, decision-ready insights.
