Over mij
Seven years inside nonprofits and INGOs (BRAC, Field Ready, Nutrition International), mostly on the side where programs need money and proof. I co-led the grant writing behind a $200,000 NRC renewal, supported BRAC proposals to the World Bank and Mastercard Foundation, and now run a $700,000 AVPN-funded AI literacy program. Here I write and edit grant proposals and build funder prospect lists for climate, agriculture and development work. On the side I advise NGOs on AI and innovation pilots (I co-designed BRAC's AI strategy), and I translate English to Bengali.
