Hello! It's me
Fuad Taufiqul Hakim
Biotec
I am a biotechnologist and self-taught programmer hailing from Bangladesh, where I completed my B. Sc. and M. Sc. in Biotechnology at the University of Rajshahi. In parallel with my biotech studies, I ventured into programming, recognizing its potential to amplify my research capabilities in the biotech realm.
My professional interests span the realms of biology and computation, and I firmly believe that multidisciplinary knowledge is the key to unlocking sustainable solutions. Consequently, I am actively expanding my expertise in areas such as drug design, computational chemistry, and programming, driven by an unwavering enthusiasm for continuous learning and a deep commitment to contributing meaningfully to the betterment of humanity on a global scale.
