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.
