About Me

Hi, I'm Shakil Hosen — a student, volunteer, and open knowledge advocate.

I'm currently in my final year of a B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) at Green University of Bangladesh. My thesis research focuses on Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) biosensors, exploring how optical techniques can be used to design sensitive and reliable biosensing systems for real-world applications. Beyond research, I've worked on academic projects involving Arduino-based automation, microprocessor programming, renewable energy systems, and smart access/security technologies. You can explore my technical skills and professional background below.

Alongside my studies, I serve as a Wikimedia Steward, entrusted with supporting communities across Wikimedia's global projects. I'm also an administrator on Bangla Wikipedia and Deputy Coordinator of Dhaka Wikimedia Community. Over the years, I've organized writing contests, facilitated workshops, built MediaWiki templates and modules, and developed tools and bots to make collaboration easier. I'm deeply passionate about building a stronger Bangla-language knowledge ecosystem while contributing to Wikimedia's worldwide mission of free knowledge.

My interests lie at the intersection of engineering, technology, and open communities. Whether it's experimenting with biosensor designs, documenting social change through photography, or helping newcomers discover the joy of contributing to open platforms, I strive to combine technical expertise with a commitment to knowledge sharing.

Looking ahead, I aim to continue bridging scientific innovation and collaborative platforms, contributing to sustainable technology while empowering communities through open knowledge. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to collaborate or learn more about my work.
