Hi, I'm Apurbo.
Student, builder, and technology enthusiast based in Dhaka. I work on gaming services, Linux systems, hardware upgrades, and data-driven business projects.
I'm interested in business, finance, Linux, PC hardware, gaming, and building useful digital things. Outside class, I build and help manage an independent digital gaming-services venture.
Currently / Now
- •Studying business and finance
- •Growing and operating a digital gaming-services venture
- •Exploring Linux, self-hosting, and hardware upgrades
- •Looking for internships, freelance work, and collaborative projects
// 01. background & personality
A Curious Mind at the Intersection of Business & Systems
I'm a university student in Dhaka with a focus on business, finance, accounting, and quantitative data analysis. While my coursework is centered around financial statements, corporate strategy, and statistical models, my natural curiosity pulls me toward hands-on technology: understanding what makes systems run under the hood.
Outside class, I run and help manage an independent digital gaming-services venture. That operational experience has taught me real-world business fundamentals far faster than textbooks: managing customer intake on Discord, modeling unit economics in Excel, and building custom tooling—like Cloudpass—to automate inventory management at the edge.
When I'm away from spreadsheets and venture ops, you'll find me tinkering with Linux distributions, optimizing laptop thermals with phase-change pads, tuning custom mechanical keyboards with tactile switches, or playing PC games. I'm actively looking for internships, freelance opportunities, and collaborative projects where technical problem-solving meets business value.

Practical Systems & Analytical Work
Cloudpass: Edge Game Catalog & Inventory
Full Stack / OperationsA high-performance edge web platform built to automate gaming service inventory, account tracking, and client delivery.
Architected the edge database schema, coded the responsive client interface, and built administrative inventory controls.
Replaced manual spreadsheet tracking with sub-50ms edge queries globally, eliminating database hosting costs entirely.
Gaming Laptop Thermal Optimization & Hardware Upgrade
Hardware / SystemsA complete hardware upgrade, thermal repaste, and voltage tuning case study to eliminate thermal throttling under heavy workloads.
Disassembled chassis, installed RAM & high-speed NVMe SSD, applied Honeywell PTM7950 phase-change pads, and tuned voltages.
Decreased sustained CPU package temperatures by 12°C, stabilized 100% boost clock speeds, and boosted multi-core performance by 9%.
Game Telemetry & Runtime Memory Modding Tools
Reverse EngineeringA suite of reverse-engineered memory scanners, process hooks, and trainers built to inspect game engine state in real time.
Analyzed memory structures with Cheat Engine, wrote Win32 memory injection hooks, and built hotkey overlays.
Achieved stable memory injection and zero frame-time drops across modern 3D games with automated pointer re-scanning.
Digital Venture Unit Economics & Pricing Model
Finance & AnalyticsA financial model and inventory dashboard designed to evaluate unit margins, break-even volumes, and customer repeat rates.
Constructed dynamic multi-tier pricing spreadsheets, integrated variance tracking, and modeled cash flow projections.
Identified underpriced service offerings, improved net profit margins by 18%, and automated weekly bookkeeping reconciliation.
