Childhood

Early years · Bangladesh

Kamil Hassan reading a book

Grew up in Bangladesh, shaped by a culture that values education and community. Early curiosity about how things work planted the seeds for a lifelong interest in building and problem-solving.

  • — Grew up in Bangladesh
  • — Developed early interest in technology and learning
  • — Shaped by community values and educational aspirations
This background continues to influence my interest in using technology to solve problems for communities with limited access to resources.

University

2021 – 2024 · Malaysia

Kamil Hassan asking questions in university

Moved to Malaysia to study Computer Science at APU. University was where theory met practice — from building my first RAG chatbot to leading IEEE workshops and graduating as Valedictorian.

  • — B.A. (Hons) Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) at APU
  • — Built APAssist — university RAG chatbot (Final Year Project)
  • — Head of Technical Operations at IEEE APU Student Branch
  • — Crystal Academy Data Science — Top 10
  • — Startup Weekend, AppSheet Hackathon, and multiple workshops
  • — Graduated as Valedictorian (2024)
Community and mentoring accelerated my own learning.

Early Experiments

Malaysia & Remote

First professional roles at INMOGR and Akirakan Marine Technology, combined with independent projects like Script Genie. Each experiment taught something the previous one could not.

  • — Frontend Developer at INMOGR (2021–2022)
  • — Full Stack Intern at Akirakan Marine Technology (2023)
  • — Built Script Genie and Transform Bangladesh — learned that distribution matters as much as engineering
  • — Explored RAG and Generative AI with APAssist
Script Genie and Transform Bangladesh taught me the hardest lesson: building a technically good product is not enough if you do not know how to reach users.

Future

Ahead · Wherever the work takes me

We learn and evolve every day, so the goals we set evolve with us. Mine will too. What I want to hold onto is the wish to affect people’s lives positively — through the strengths I keep practicing: learning, teaching, building, and whatever else I grow into.

  • — Stay curious, knowing today’s answer may not be tomorrow’s
  • — Teach and share what I understand, so it does not stay with me
  • — Build with care, aiming for work that helps someone in a real way
  • — Revisit what “next” means as I grow
The specific goal can change. The intention is to leave people better off.
