Hello, I’m

Ashiq
Sazid

I'm Md. Ashiq Ul Islam Sajid, have published 13 research papers at international conferences and in Q1 journals, with 4 more currently under review.
Besides research, I build machine learning systems both independently and collaboratively, contribute to open-source projects on GitHub, and am actively working on Q1 journal and an A* conference.
Targeting USENIX & NDSS; becoming a good system architect is my main priority now.
