Dhaka, Bangladesh
journey
School, volunteering, and what each turned into — order is the whole point.
age 3½
Playgroup to class 5 at an English-medium school. I started at three and a half — the earliest version of the kid with the dreams.
SSC
English Version, classes 7 to 10. Walked out with a GPA 5.0.
HSC
Classes 11 and 12 — the runway to university.
2015
For years I’d watched volunteers selling flowers to fund education for underprivileged kids. In 2015 I finally applied, got selected — and volunteered for exactly one day. Then I went home and couldn’t stop thinking about the kids.
2016
I joined Volunteer for Bangladesh — JAAGO Foundation’s youth wing — and met the kids the flowers were for. They high-fived me. One thought stuck, and it hasn’t left:
“I have to do something for them, no matter how small my contribution is.”
2016–19
Four years with Volunteer for Bangladesh, Dhaka — climbing one role at a time:
now
Third year, ongoing. These days I’m an alumni member at VBD — still volunteering whenever I can — and I mentor juniors at university, teaching them the topics they missed in class. My proudest moments are when they score an A+.
work
Three things I build and keep building.
Most of my visitors browse on mid-range phones over mobile data — and most portfolios ship megabytes at them. This one is pure static HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript, designed and built with Claude Code: fonts self-hosted, zero third-party requests, deployed to GitHub Pages under my own domain from a single git push.

I wanted to know what these models really are when nobody’s API sits in the middle. So I run inference on my own desktop — Ollama with open-weight models like Hermes, squeezed to fit my GPU and RAM. It’s my playground for understanding how these systems actually behave.
runs on my desk, not on a server
I make videos, tell stories, and dream of becoming a big YouTuber someday. The main channel is @yusufahmed; the gaming detours started earlier on a little channel called How I met Teemo. Every upload teaches me shooting, editing, and how to hold an audience.
skills
No progress bars. Just what I know and how I know it.
rig
The tower I game on — and the same box that runs my local models.
beyond
Off-screen I’m usually strumming a guitar and freestyle-singing in Bangla and English. I’ve been cycling since 2013 — first bike from my father, the second a gift from my uncle — and I’ve ridden with BDCyclists.
Evenings are for PUBG Mobile with friends; the road there ran through Call of Duty and League of Legends. And always: photography, video editing, and the dream of being a big YouTuber someday.
