Hello there, I'm Maruf
I am a 23-year computer scientist. I recently completed my bachelors from Brac University and currently unemployed. Things are a bit frustrating right now cause seems like I'm fighting to get a job among thousand other and who are far better candidates than me. Yes, I have an above-average CGPA but to be very honest I don't have a lot of technical skills but I'm learning every day. Doing online courses and practicing, which you can see below! Anyways, the more I learn the more I feel I don't know a lot of things. If you are a recruiter welcome to my site! I hope you like it and I am continuously updating it to show what I have learned! I know its not a lot but I hope you can see that i won't give up. However, if your my friend or a family member hey there!!!! Thanks for stalking!

Work Experience
Lecturer
2020(January) - 2020 (April)
I had gotten the huge opportunity to serve the university i spent my 4 years in. I was appointed as a faculty of the computer science department under the school of data and science, Brac University. I was responsible for taking 4 labs (L) and 1 theory course (T). More info..
- CSE101: Introduction to Computer Science (T)
- CSE111: Programming Languages II (L)
- CSE321: Operating Systems (L)
- CSE471: System Analysis and Design (L)
- CSE330: Numerical Methods (L)
I was responsible for teaching 37 students the basics of computer science. These students were from different non CS backgrounds and i had the honour to help them know the wonderful and fasinating world of technology.
In this course, I was responsible for taking the labs. The labs mainly focused on teaching them some of the basic concepts of java involving the 4 pillars of java polymorphism, inheritance, abstraction, and encapsulation also focus on access modifiers, different keywords such as super, this and many more. Furthermore, me and my colleague were responsible to ensure that the students where understanding what's happening behind the scenes going to each and everyone and solving their problems.
In this lab, I was responsible for making them understand different bash commands and what we can do with it. Furthermore, helping them understand and implement different scheduling algorithms such as FCFS, SJF, SRJF, Bankers, and many more.
This was according to me the best lab as it was more related to real-life scenarios. In the lab, I with my colleague were responsible for monitoring the students' performance related to their project work which involved helping them understand different project related diagrams such as DFD, Class Diagram, Feseability Analysis, and many more. Finally, we had to judge them based on their overall performance and the final project.
In this lab, we had to help the students understand how python works on a very basic level and then introduce them to solve different numerical method problems using python.
Student Tutor
2019 (September -December)
I was given the opportunity to tutor the students of one section in the algorithms course where I was responsible to help the students with a different topic of algorithms, I was also responsible to appear during the lab classes to help them out in different problems related to coding. The whole experience not only helped me to better understand my capabilities as an instructor/tutor but also help me clear my concept regarding algorithms.
Content Creator
2019 (September) -
We all have been there where we are searching youtube to find the content that properly represents what's being taught in class. However, I always felt something lacking in the relevant videos. When I got the student-tutor job I thought rather than these students matching their schedules with me why not I teach them online. Thus the start of the channel. I make CS-related content here mostly theoretical concepts. Please like and subscribe (shameless plug)!
Student Mentor
2018(January) - 2019(August)
My first job and this was during my university life. How exciting!! This job involved less teaching and more into helping the freshers to get accustomed to the environment. I was responsible for 2 batches with a total of 80+ students whom I had to guide on how to cope with the university pressure, how to study, where to get resources and so on.
Programing Knowledge
Java
Brac University mainly focuses on Java as the main language for helping the students understand logic behind programming. However, They dont focus on learning frameworks related to it. Currently i have no projects to show regarding java however my git page has problems that might show my Knowledge regarding this. My Knowledge related to java and programming are limited to the following, 4 pillars of Java, Data Types, Control Statements, Data Structures, Algorithms, use Hibernate, Spring MVC etc.Find few of my java content below.
- Different Java problems
- Hibernate
This github link contains different problems regarding java that i though are interseting (README.MD for more). Plus it includes questions for TherapBD interview!
So practiced Hibernate during the pandemic. Loved the features of it. So here are the contents that i practiced.
JS
This is a new language im persuring right now. Even though had done a course CSE391: Programming For the internet where we had to do a few challenges related to JS but that was on a very basic level. However, now im focusing on DOM manipulation with vanilla JS and jQuery and moving on to learning frameworks such such Node.js, Express.js and Vue.js. Wish me luck!! I have a few projects to show which are definetly not much as you might expect but i tried (Yay?)!
- CSE391 JS challenges
- Patatap clone
- Color Game
- To Do List
- Node, Express and MongoDB Projects
- Yelpcamp
- Lets buy Shoes
This is a small web app (I guess you can say that?) which was my first introduction to JS where i made small calucation and DOM manipulation
This project is a fun one related to using JQuery, Paper JS and Howler JS.
So you think you know RGB values? Think again! Made with vanilla JS.
The least fun one here however, took a while to do all the styling. Done with JQuery
Finally completed my web development course! The whole backend of the course was done using MongoDB, node and express. This repository contains all the small projects and one industry ready (yelpcamp) projects!
This is a complete industry ready project completed with everything i have learned so far.
(HTML, CSS, Node, Express, MongoDB). The project focuses on showing users different campgrounds
around the world and if you know about any definetly add new ones!
PS: It's still under construction as i would be adding new things to it as i learn.
This is another production-ready project. This project was my second attempt in practicing node for the backend (Used restful routing too! ).
And surprisingly, it turned out good. Has a lot of features that a typical E-Commerce website would have. However, this is the target for a smaller startup
business that needs a website. The website is hosted on Heroku. Due to my account being on a free version, it might be a bit slow so,
kindly keep your patience. Sign up, buy some shoes! Sadly won't be sending them any time soon. Jokes apart, the website has a unique
color where based on gender the theme changes. It also has a moderately featured admin panel with inventory control.
PS: There are a few places of improvement mostly on the admin side. But those are minor and focus on ease of life. However, I would definitely try to improve on those as I go on.
HTML CSS
This is the first 2 things that got me hooked in web development. Made many projects just with the help of HTML CSS however, dont have alot to show for as i lost most of them when my protable HDD crashed (RIP). Anyways, the projects above are wriiten in HTML as the backbone so that tells that i know something about it. I have Knowledge regarding use of Bootstrap 4 and Semantic UI.
- Muesume of Candy
This was a practice project for the all new Bootstrap 4.
PHP
My first language-related to backend and I kind of got the hang of it. As I mentioned previously had to learn this for my CSE370: Database and CSE391: Programming for the internet course. I had to go through all of it by myself cause the course expected us to do everything by ourselves! Anyways, I don't have any knowledge regarding PHP frameworks however, I did a large scale project just using raw/vanilla PHP. However, PHP isnt my strong side anymore becuase of the lack of practice.
- GITHub link: Mechanic appointment system
- GITHub link: To-let.com
My first project related to PHP. Very basic level stuff!
My first BIG PROJECT! This was for the final submission of my CSE391 course and the reponses towards it were very good. It had all the functions that an actual website would have including login, unauthorized access checker, creating profiles, adding advertisements etc.
Awards / Achievements
People say that they are hardworking, punctual, they are good at presenting and so on. I am no different from them.I would say all of those above and more but not because that is what everyone is doing but those are qualities thatI keep close to my heart and am very proud of it. Furthermore, I have awards/achievements to prove myclaims.
Vice Chancellors Certificate

Research Works
To me research work is quite fun! I get to go through books, videos, papers and create something of my own. Havent done a lot reaserch work however planing to fill up this section with many more!
Efficient Blockchain System Based on Proof of Segmented Work
IEEE REGION 10 SYMPOSIUM (TENSYMP) 2020
The research was done during my undergraduate thesis work. After 1 year of going through countless papers, videos, books finally we were able to propose a new consensus algorithm that could make crypto-currency much feasible to mine. The results of our research presented us with promising results. We had the opportunity to present the paper in IEEE REGION 10 SYMPOSIUM (TENSYMP) 2020 through a virtual conference due to COVID-19. The reviews of our paper and the presentation were promising.
