👋 Hello, I'm Sadat MahmudÂ
🌱 Origins & Horizons
I was born on August 10, 1995, in Dhaka, the vibrant and dynamic capital of Bangladesh, but my roots trace back to Gazipur, a quieter district known for its greenery, warmth, and strong sense of community. Growing up in Gazipur instilled in me core values that continue to guide my path, community service, resilience, and a deep responsibility toward both people and the planet. My academic path took a transformative turn when I moved to Germany to pursue a Master’s in Data Science at TU Dortmund University. There, I deepened my expertise in technology while also learning to navigate and contribute to a multicultural, innovative environment. My journey then expanded through the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program at the University of Naples Federico II in Italy, where I worked with students from across Europe on real-world projects that demanded collaboration across cultures, disciplines, and perspectives.
From Gazipur to Dhaka, from Dortmund to Naples, each chapter of my life has shaped the person I am—curious, globally minded, and purpose-driven. These experiences fuel my desire to use data science not just to solve problems, but to create inclusive, sustainable solutions that make life better for communities, for individuals, and for the future we share.
🎓 Current Status
I’m an aspiring Data Scientist pursuing an M.Sc. in Data Science at TU Dortmund University, with a strong focus on machine learning, AI, big data analytics, and natural language processing. With hands-on experience in both research and practical applications, I bridge the gap between data and real-world solutions.
🎯 Current Goal
I'm looking for a long-term opportunity at a workplace where I can grow, contribute meaningfully, and continue learning. I seek an environment that values impact-driven innovation and offers space for creativity, collaboration, and the purpose.
💡 My Philosophy
From an early age, I’ve been passionate about making a positive difference, not just with technology, but with purpose.
My journey has taken me from social activism and tree-planting to building AI-powered tools. I believe in using data and innovation to create solutions that are sustainable, ethical, and empowering.
Whether it’s advocating for democracy, co-founding the Planet Army tree-planting club, or brainstorming mental health support tools, I ground my work in empathy, sustainability, and social good.
A Glimpse Into My Free Time Â
I enjoy traveling and discovering new places, cultures, and people — each trip adds to my understanding of the world. Cooking is another hobby I truly enjoy; I often try out different cuisines such as continental, Italian, and some German dishes. I also love reading, especially journals and nonfiction. Every morning, I start my day by checking global and national news to stay informed about current affairs, particularly in the business and corporate world.Â
Ongoing Projects
I'm currently working on an AI-based startup focused on travel itinerary planning. The project aims to make travel smarter, simpler, and more sustainable.
The motivation behind this venture is to remove the stress from trip planning by offering personalized travel experiences, seamless booking options, and fostering traveler-friendly local communities. A key goal is to support carbon emission-free travel, encouraging eco-conscious choices while exploring the world.
This project blends my passion for travel with my skills in data science and AI, and it's a step toward building technology that empowers people and protects the planet.
