CSE Student//PHP Dev//FIDE Chess Player
Building real-world web applications while pursuing a BSc in Computer Science & Engineering at Sonargaon University. I turn live data, complex systems, and clever algorithms into things that actually work.
About Me
I'm a BSc Computer Science & Engineering student at Sonargaon University, Bangladesh — passionate about building systems that handle real-world data at scale.
My technical stack centers on PHP & MySQL for backend development, Python for scripting and data analysis, and JavaScript for dynamic front-end experiences. I love working on projects that involve live data feeds — whether it's crypto prices, sports stats, or satellite telemetry.
Outside of code, I follow NASA missions obsessively, track space exploration milestones, and play competitive chess as a FIDE-rated player. I also share chess lessons and analysis on my YouTube channel, Chess By Shourov.
Interests & Hobbies
FIDE-rated player. I analyse openings, endgames, and share lessons on my YouTube channel "Chess By Shourov".
Tracking NASA missions, Mars rovers, Webb telescope discoveries, and the latest launches from SpaceX and ISRO.
Real-time price tracking, on-chain analysis, and building dashboards to visualise Bitcoin and altcoin data.
From backend APIs to full-stack web apps — I enjoy building tools that solve practical problems.
