I am Talha Zubaer, a dedicated IT professional, educator, and independent researcher with five years of experience in enterprise network engineering. Currently serving as an IT Officer at Daffodil International University, I lead a team of over 60 IT personnel and manage mission-critical infrastructure supporting 2000+ LAN users and over 7000 daily wireless users.

I actively teach and mentor final-year undergraduate students at the university, delivering hands-on training in Cisco CCNA, wireless engineering, server administration, and IT career development. I also hold several IT certification like CCNA, MTCNA, ICSI| CNSS, CMNE, RCNA-Wireless. My role as an instructor is closely aligned with my professional expertise, allowing me to translate complex technical concepts into practical, real-world learning experiences for aspiring IT professionals.

My academic journey into machine learning and artificial intelligence began with my undergraduate thesis titled "Bangla Handwritten Character Recognition Using Machine Learning." Despite early financial and health-related challenges, I have remained committed to research—pursuing it independently through self-study, experimentation, and publication. My recent contributions include:

◈Improving Pneumonia Detection in X-Ray Images with Hybrid Deep Learning Techniques – Published, 2025

◈A Comprehensive Approach to Corn Leaf Disease Identification: Deep Learning-Based Classification of Common Rust and Gray Leaf Spot – Under Review

◈A Hybrid Deep Learning Approach to Identify Skin Disease from Rash Images – Under Review

I have also worked on socially driven technical initiatives, including ICU4U, a COVID-era platform that provided real-time ICU bed availability across hospitals in Bangladesh during national lockdowns—serving as a public resource in a time of critical need.

I earned my B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from Daffodil International University. 

Throughout my academic and professional journey, my contributions have been recognized with several notable honors, including:

❖ Best Performing Employee Award – Daffodil International University, 2023

 ❖ "Brilliant" Badge - DIU IT Monthly Challenge - Nov 2020

❖Champion – Mobile App Idea Contest, Daffodil ICT Carnival 2018

❖Sonali Bank CEO Award – For outstanding academic result in Board Examination of Higher Secondary School Certificate (2014).

❖ Sonali Bank CEO Award – For outstanding academic result in Board Examination of School Dakhil (2012).

With a strong foundation in applied IT, technical education, and independent machine learning research, I am now seeking to join a research-intensive graduate program where I can contribute meaningfully to advanced work in AI, computer vision, and deep learning, and grow further under the guidance of world-class faculty.
