Tariful Islam

Hello, I'm a software engineer with hands-on experience building large-scale applications at Pathao and leading engineering initiatives at Daricomma, an ed-tech platform now serving over 100k+ users. I had completed my B.sc in Computer Science and Engineering from Shahjalal university of science and Technology. Alongside industry work, I have conducted research experiment in NLP, vision with transformer based models and deep learning architectures to overcome the challenges of low resource domains. Currently, some of the research work are under review and will be published soon...

As a software engineer, I see daily how AI tools can boost productivity, yet how often their cost, deployment overhead, or inference latency hold them back in practical settings. So, Looking ahead, as a motivated PhD candidate, I am super excited to continue my research experiment on Large Language Models(LLMs), particularly in reasoning and cost-efficiency (e.g. through more efficient routing, hybrid models, or knowledge graph-augmented systems) to make them more practical, trustworthy and usable for more domains.
